Piemaggio

The most ancient part of Piemaggio's farmhouse dates back to the XI-XII century AD. The illustration of the three flower sellers has represented the identity of the wines since 1954.

The estate is located at Le Fioraie, a hamlet on the north-western side of the Castellina in Chianti territory, along the road to Poggibonsi. Altitude sits between 380 and 480 metres above sea level. Vineyards extend over 12 hectares on galestro and alberese soils, all trained with the Guyot system on separate hillside sites with south or south-westerly aspect. Sangiovese covers approximately 10 hectares, grown alongside Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are cultivated for the production of an IGT wine. Roughly one kilometer from the farmhouse and vineyards as the crow flies, the cellar was modernised in 2014 with new 100HL steel vats for controlled temperature fermentation. Wine aging takes place in 110 hL fiberglass concrete vats, 25 hL French oak barrels, and 5 hL French oak tonneaux. Its wines include Chianti Classico Le Fioraie, Chianti Classico Riserva Le Fioraie, and Piemaggio IGT.
