Tasting Note:
Le Fioraie Riserva is structured, savory, and unmistakably classic. Aromas of sour cherry, red plum, and dried rose open into layers of leather, tobacco, and warm spice. The palate is firm and poised—medium to full-bodied—with Sangiovese’s signature acidity carrying fine-grained tannins and a stony, mineral core. Notes of balsamic herbs and iron emerge on the long, composed finish. This is a serious Chianti Classico built for the table and for time.

About the Producer:
Castello di Piemaggio is a historic Chianti Classico estate rooted in traditional Tuscan winemaking, emphasizing site expression and restraint. Their Riserva bottlings come from carefully selected parcels and are shaped by patient élevage rather than overt oak. Le Fioraie reflects that philosophy: depth without excess, structure without heaviness, and a clear sense of place that rewards both food pairing and cellaring.
