The vineyards

The vineyards at Piemaggio extend over 12 hectares. All trained with the Guyot system, they grow over separate hillside sites with south or south-westerly aspect. The altitude of the location sits between 380 and 480 metres above sea level, with slopes of variable steepness.

Thick woods surround the vineyards on all sides. Together with the altitude and the constant breeze, the presence of the forest helps protect both vines and grapes from damaging summer droughts.

The galestro and alberese soils, part of the geological heritage of Chianti Classico sites, guarantee perfect drainage of the vineyards: an essential feature for the healthy development of the vines.
