Producer
PIAGGIA
Mauro Vannucci bought the vineyards that overlooked his house in the municipality of Piaggia in the 1970s. He was sure that the exposure to the sun and the terroir of these vineyards were perfect for the production of great wines. He then received the confirmation with the 3 bicchieri from Gambero rosso for the 1997 Carmignano. Further top awards followed. With an increase in capacity and distribution throughout the world, his daughter joined the company as managing director. The winery consists of 16 hectares of land, 8 of which are planted with vines.
