The nose is intense, elegant & persistent with hints of berries and violets. Palate- well-textured, elegant with superb balance between tannins & acidity.

AWARDS: 96 points Decanter

ABOUT

Piemaggio sits up on the high slopes of Castellina in Chianti. With stony, galestra laden vineyards 450 metres above sea-level, there is very much a 'cooler climate' feel to these wines than so many in Chianti.
