Piemaggio Riserva Le Fioraie Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2015

Piemaggio is an estate is based in the heart of Castellina in Chianti Classico with around 12 hectares of vineyards.andnbsp; This is their inaugural release in the US and more than anything we were struck by how intensely floral and aromatic the wine was andndash; red roses and succulent cherry fruit jump out of the glass with a savory backing of rosemary and Tuscan herbs. The palate is ripe, silky, and quite juicy rendered in a pleasantly forward style that is hard to resist.andnbsp; The joys of Sangiovese are all captured here without any of the hard edges the grape can be prone to.andnbsp; This could certainly age for 5-10 years but we can't imagine resisting opening it now given how delicious it is! 90% Sangiovese with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, and Colorino fermented in steel and aged in concrete and barrels ranging between 500 liters and 25 hectoliters for 18 months.
