Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
Ciacci Piccolomini is a bastion of traditional farming and winemaking, though there is an elegance and a purity of fruit that stands it apart from its peers. They have some of the best sites in the Castelnuovo dell’Abate zone, including the iron rich ‘Pianrosso’ vineyard. Grapes are hand harvested from the perfectly oriented southeast slopes where vines are organically farmed.
