On the nose, the wine bursts with perfectly ripe red fruits such as cherry and wild strawberry, all balanced by a tinge of savory herbs. Silky on the palate with a refreshing acidity that makes for a great friend at the dinner table.
85% Sangiovese, 15% Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in cement tanks, plus aging in bottle for 4-5 months.
The Bettarini family have farmed Fattoria di Piazzano since its inception in 1948, when Otello Bettarini, a successful manufacturer from nearby Prato, fell in love with the area’s rolling landscape and bucolic charm. But winemaking in these tufted hills south of Empoli goes back considerably farther than that; archeological excavations on the property have unearthed wine amphorae dating from the 4th century CE! In fact, the very name Piazzano is derived from the Latin “Fundus Plautianus,” or “Plautus’ Farm,” a proud acknowledgement of the land’s heritage as a Roman Centurion’s estate.
