2022 Piemaggio, Chianti Classico, Le Fioraie

The Piemaggio estate is located in the Castellina in Chianti sub-zone, where the property’s history traces back to the 11th century and its current identity has been maintained by the same family lineage since 1954. These vineyards sit at altitudes between 380 and 480 meters, where the vines are rooted in mineral-rich alberese and galestro soils and made from a blend of 90% Sangiovese with 10% Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, and Colorino. In the glass, the wine shows notes of bright red cherry, turned earth, and tobacco, offering a focused texture and a lively acidity. While the 2022 vintage was marked by significant warmth, the estate’s thick surrounding forests and steady breezes helped preserve freshness and balance in the final wine. This is a highly drinkable bottle that is ready to enjoy tonight, providing excellent clarity and character for those seeking an honest expression of the region.
