Piaggia is a family estate in Poggio a Caiano, in Tuscany. Silvia, the founder's daughter, owns it now. It covers about 25 hectares, and about 15 of those are under vine. The first Piaggia Carmignano Riserva DOCG was made in 1991.
The cellar is partly built into the side of the hill.
Carmignano's production zone is small, about 40 square km on the eastern side of the Montalbano hills. The soils drain well and are rich in limestone and micronutrients.

I haven't reviewed a wine from Piaggia yet. They're on my Top 100 list, which is built from awards.
