The Piaggia Winery is located in the Carmignano DOC area, in the municipality of Poggio Caiano, near Chianti Classico. The winery was established by Mauro Vannucci, who acquired his initial parcels of land in the 1970s with the conviction that he could create exceptional wines here. This confidence stemmed from the ideal orientation and soil quality of the vineyards, which offer picturesque views of the surrounding plains all the way to Florence.
