Tenuta Moraia Perpiero 2017
Pierangelo Piccini's ingenious approach to viticulture led him to identify the potential of the Maremma, characteristics that subsequently established it as one of Italy's finest wine-producing areas. When Mario Piccini realised the far-sightedness of his father's thoughts, he decided to dedicate a selection of the estate's finest vineyards to him, creating a powerful and elegant wine. The best sections of Tenuta Moraia's vineyards have been completely in Perpiero's production since 2014.

Soil composition The grey-blue and red clays on the surface with speckled limestone and limestone conglomerates give rise to a soil that beckons the Sangiovese, revealing its tannic potential and structure with particular grace and elegance. A mosaic of influences and aromatic echoes that is completed by other vineyards on less impervious, sandy and more pebbly slopes that call upon the grapes typical of the great Bordeaux reds to interpret the terroir.
