(From the distributor)
Piero Lanza is one of Chianti’s greatest young ambassadors. A qualified oenologist, a very competent agronomist and a brilliant winemaker, his wines have improved immeasurably over the past few vintages. Located in the heart of Chianti Classico district the estate consists of 106 acres of vineyards, olive groves and woodlands. The winery is one of the properties of a large estate which used to belong to Prince Ginori Conti, a descendant of one of Florence’s oldest families. Planted on clay and ‘galestro’ soils his wines are marked by minerality, acidity and bright fruit.
ORGANIC and practicing BIOYNAMIC.
