Pietramaggio
Seta Toscana 2021
Pietramaggio Seta is a Toscana IGT red blend from certified organic vineyards in Pontassieve, located within Chianti Rufina, near the Sieve River. Chianti Rufina, considered the best of Chianti’s subregions, benefits from high altitudes and cooler temperatures. This blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot offers red berry, thyme, and clove aromas. Supple and youthful, it boasts great structure and fresh acidity.
Vineyard
From certified organic vineyards in the town of Pontassieve in Chianti Rufina. The southeast-facing vines are grown in clay and limestone at about 1,000 feet above sea level.
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures before the wine is transferred to glass-lined cement vats for malolactic fermentation. It remains in the cement vats for 10-12 months of aging.
Vintage
2021 was a great vintage in Chianti. The summer heat was great for Cabernet and Merlot, while the high-altitude terroir of Rufina helped retain acidity.
Tasting Note
This wine is packed with aromas of red berries, thyme, and cloves. It’s supple and youthful, while maintaining great structure and fresh acidity.

Chianti Classico Riserva
The Riserva is only made in the best vintages and is comprised 95% of Sangiovese, with a splash of Canaiolo and Colorino. It comes from the same high-elevation clay and limestone vineyard as the Chianti Classico, located at 1,500 feet above sea level, but is aged an additional six months in oak. It’s ruby red in color with notes of ripe red fruits, vanilla, and spices. This is a balanced and pleasant wine with a well-rounded but intense finish.
Chianti Classico
Pietramaggio Chianti Classico comes from a high-altitude vineyard in Greve near the 13th-century Castle of Montefioralle. At 1,500 feet, its clay-limestone soils nurture Sangiovese and other Tuscan grapes. Winemaker Tommaso Inghirami blends tradition and modernity in this juicy, spiced cherry- and plum-driven wine with creamy tannins. Fresh and vibrant, it's an easy-drinking pleasure true to its origins.
