Piandaccoli Baciami Brut Sparkling Rosé
The estate began with the cultivation of vineyards by monks in 1100, before the phylloxera epidemic that hit Europe in the mid-nineteenth century wiped out the indigenous varietals present in Tuscany. Piandaccoli emerges in 1950 with the production of Chianti, but it was the vision of Dr. Giampaolo Bruni that set the stage for this incredible winery's future. He collaborated with the University of Florence, using DNA testing on grapes found in the Medici tombs, to reintroduce autochthonous varietals prevalent during the Italian Renaissance.
A slightly pale pink sparkler with perlage that is intense and fairly persistent. The nose offers floral and fruity notes, with a predominance of small red fruits (raspberry, blackberry and black currant) and a subtle citrus vein interspersed with mild minerality. In the mouth it is delicately exuberant with recurring fruit and freshness.
