Castellinuzza e Piuca is a tiny property near the little isolated hamlet of Lamole near
Greve, a family-run winery that is the epitome of 'local wine’. The Coccia family purchased the land in 1962 after decades of sharecropping. The winemaking is simple and transparent; and the wine is wonderful, full of interesting flavors but above all drinkable.

Made from Sangiovese (in this case, Sangiovese di Lamole, the local sub-type) and
Canaiolo. Aged exclusively in concrete, this method is traditional in the region and was used
widely prior to the introduction of stainless steel. Shows notes of sour cherry and almonds,
with an elegant mineral earthiness — a wonderful food wine. Drink with hearty pastas and
grilled meats.
