A blend of 90% Sangiovese with 10% Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, and Colorino, Piemaggio’s flagship Chianti Classico ‘Le Floraie’ ferments spontaneously in stainless steel during a 3 ½ week maceration, and spends two years aging in a combination of concrete tanks and previously used wooden casks – mainly 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak, with some 500-liter French oak employed as well. With a nose of earth-dusted, umami-tinged black cherries leading into a palate of tangy acidity and notable yet unforced concentration, Piemaggio's Chianti Classico exemplifies Chianti's centuries-long history of producing some of the world's greatest wines for not so hefty prices. Well-buffered tannins bear the terroir's power, but the overall impression is one of balance. The Le Floraie is a paragon of egoless drinkability and a bottle that we strongly suggest you stock up on while you can!
