About this wine

Piantonaia is made from 100% Merlot grown on galestro and sandstone terraces at altitude, giving a naturally low yield of concentrated berries. Fermented in concrete and aged in French oak barriques, it combines dark plum and black cherry fruit with cocoa, herbs, graphite and a cool, mineral undertone. The 2019 vintage is particularly elegant, with silky tannins and a long, polished finish.

Tasting Note

Vinous (93/100 in recent vintages) remarks on Piantonaia’s suave texture, ripe yet fresh Merlot fruit and the way oak supports rather than dominates the wine.

In the glass

Dark ruby with purple highlights.

In the nose

Ripe black cherry and plum, mocha, cocoa, dried herbs and a hint of pencil shavings.

On the palate

Supple and generous, with a velvety mid-palate, fine-grained tannins and a lingering, chocolate-and-mineral finish.

Poggio Scalette

Poggio Scalette is the personal project of Vittorio Fiore, one of Tuscany’s most respected wine thinkers. High-altitude vineyards and meticulous Sangiovese selections produce wines of purity, tension and understated power. The style is firmly classical: bright red fruit, floral lift, savoury depth and a long, mineral finish, built to age with grace.
