Winemaker Notes
Deep and intense ruby red colour with purplish highlights. Aromatic elegance in balsamic overtones and hints of mint, fruits of the forest and a slight smoke finish. Full-bodied and soft, well- balanced thanks to the fine tannins. The finish is long, meaty and chewy. It goes well with traditional Italian dishes, red meat
and game.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A pure expression of Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Poggio de' Colli is an impressive effort. This wine offers more evidence of just how beautifully this French grape performs in the warmest pockets of Tuscany. The wine reveals a midnight black appearance with thick aromas of black fruit and marmalade. Like the other wines from this vintage, you are immediately aware of the sweetness and the ripeness of the fruit on display. Perhaps that warmth will not hold in the long run but this wine is drinking beautifully just as it is right now.

Piaggia is located right in the heart of Carmignano. The total vineyard extension is approximately 15 hectares, divided between the area of S. Cristina a Mezzana and the municipality of Poggio a Caiano, both areas with a great potential for top quality wines. Mauro Vannucci started this activity in 1990 because of his great passion for great red wines, with the aim to produce wines up to the standard of Carmignano appellation. In its almost 20 years of existence, Piaggia has managed to solidly establish its place among the great wineries of the classic Tuscan DOC of Carmignano, being called by Gambero Rosso “one of the best wineries in the region of Carmignano, rather, in Tuscany.”
