2016 Piemaggio Chianti Classico “Le Fioraie”

Absolutely textbook in character, it combines earth, bright fruit, and pinpoint acidity, with notable yet unforced concentration with striking balance and remarkable drinkability. Notes of pipe tobacco emerge from its deep-red-fruited core, and a faint balsamic note counterbalancing the wine’s brazenly earth-driven personality. Supple fruit beautifully framed with refined tannins, this beauty exudes a distinct character only found in the heart of the Classico zone – Castellina-in-Chianti. A truly profound Chianti Classico and living proof that it’s one of Italy’s most cherished terroirs. If this wine doesn’t stop you in your tracks, it will at least restore your belief in great Chianti. If you love, seamlessly crafted Sangiovese that you can enjoy at an everyday price, you do not need to look any further. This wine strikes the perfect balance between delicious mid-palate fruit balanced with finely woven tannins. This is another monster Home Run!
