We have a thing for Chianti and anything Sangiovese here at GG, and this one is utterly textbook in character. It combines earth, bright fruit, and tangy acidity, with unforced concentration – a wine of balance and egoless drinkability. Like blooming violet flowers crushed with dried cherries, blended and poured on a bed of fresh straw. The energetic hum of flavors is exhilarating...and will make you hungry.

Delicious With

Great with classic pizza, and red sauce pasta dishes, cold cuts, roasted meat and semi dried cheeses. Richly marbled salmon, beef steak, or a slow braised ragu.

Their Cred

The Piemaggio estate lies in the northwest sector of Castellina-in-Chianti, in the heart of the historical Chianti Classico zone, and traces its roots back to the 11th century; a pieve (church) from the era located at the property’s highest hilltop (maggiore) gives the estate its name. Steady breezes and thick surrounding forests help mitigate drought and help ensure a properly long growing season. Vineyard work here is organic unless an entire crop is on the line, and nothing that happens in the cellar is flashy or trendy; fermentations take place in cement, and aging takes place in a combination of concrete and used wooden vats.
