Piemaggio Le Fioraie Chianti Classico 2017Varietal: Saniovese 90%, Canaiolo, Colorino, and Ciliegiolo 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.
