Critical Praise

THE STORY BEHIND THIS WINE:
The Piandaccoli winery's estate's history stretches back to the 1100s, when it housed pilgrims and monks began cultivating vines in the hills near Florence.

"We produce fine wines to enrich the taste and soul." —Piandaccoli

In 2018, the winemakers were curious about the potential of the local native Mammolo grape for creating a sparkling wine. The result is a surprisingly delightful and complex wine, and it was given the evocative name "Baciami" (Kiss Me).
