    Blackcurrants with crushed-stone and lavender undertones. Medium to full body, slightly chewy tannins and a clove and dried-flower aftertaste to the dark fruit. Drink after 2023.
    VIN 98
    Vinous
    It's hard to put the glass down while exploring the depths of raspberry compote, dried orange peels, roses, exotic spice and a dusting of cocoa that form the absolutely stunning bouquet of the 2019 Carmignano Riserva Piaggia. This is pure elegance. It's silky and refined as liquid violet florals and ripe red and black fruits easily rush across the palate. Its vibrant acidity maintains exceptional finesse despite the massive primary concentration slowly taking hold. The 2019 finishes long with a coating of sweet tannins and balsamic-tinged cherry. The balance here is amazing, which might trick readers into finishing their bottles far too quickly, but trust me, the best is truly yet to come. This is Rock Star juice. Best After 2024

    piaggia winery
    Piaggia Winery is a cool spot located in Poggio a Caiano, close to Prato, and about 14 kilometers west of Florence, Italy. It was kicked off in the mid-70s by Mauro Vannucci, who snagged some land in the DOC area near Piaggia. Mauro believed the sunny spots and the soil here, which is kind of dry and clay-like, were perfect for growing grapes that would make some top-notch Carmignano wine. By 1991, Mauro had crafted the first Piaggia Carmignano Riserva DOCG, marking the start of his ever-growing passion for wine. He roped in his daughter, Silvia, into the winemaking biz, and she's the boss of Piaggia winery now. They even expanded their turf by adding another 15 hectares in a prime spot of Carmignano, giving a killer view of Florence. All in all, they've got about 25 hectares, with 15...check our brand Piaggia
