About Ciacci Piccolomini d`Aragona
Ciacci Piccolomini is one of the most sought-after producers in all of Italy. This ancient estate has 35 hectares of superior holdings in the prized Castelnuovo dell Abate region, including the Pianrosso vineyard which sits on an iron rich soils and the Fonte vineyard, which produces grapes for the Rosso di Montalcino. Syrah, Cabernet, and Merlot are planted to the south, where the Orcia river provides a milder microclimate. The non-traditional wines are as exciting as the Brunello and Rosso: Ateo, which means atheist, is a statement against the restrictive laws that govern winemaking in Italy; the wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 100% Syrah Fabius is one of the greatest expressions of that variety in Italy and Parker once called it the finest Italian Syrah I have tasted, which is an acknowledgement anyone would be gratified by. The estate is a member of the EU Lotta Integrata movement, which promotes reduced use of chemicals and organic viticulture; at Ciacci, fertilization is organic, and pruning and harvest are done by hand. Vineyard Management: The guidelines of organic agriculture are followed and the full range of wines will be certified organic by 2020. Only sulphur- and copper-based products are used. The area is sheltered by Mount Amiata and enjoys excellent air circulation. Only organic fertilizers are used (there is a cattle farm nearby for manure). The soil between the rows of vines is tilled and no herbicides are used. Minimum dosages of SO2 is used in the wines.
