Brunello di Montalcino 'Piaggione'

Tuscany
2020
Piaggione, covering 1.2ha, faces to the E/SE with fossil-rich calcareous soils at 420 to 450m of elevation. The vineyard is divided by a terrace into two different parcels that were planted in 1994 and 2007, respectively. Fermentation in stainless steel w/ macerations lasting 20 to 40 days. Aged in 1000L and 4000L casks for three years and a year in bottle. Slighty darker in color and aroma than Sorgente, with earthy, diesel-y bass notes and wild oregano top notes. This is classical Sangiovese, with silky textures but just the right amount of grip and acidity to keep everything in check. 6450 bottles made.
