The Piaggia farm is located in the municipality of Poggio a Caiano, in the province of Prato, about 14 kilometers west of Florence. It includes vineyards in the area of controlled and guaranteed designation of origin of Carmignano, situated partly in the municipality of Poggio a Caiano and partly in the municipality of Carmignano.
The company was started by Mauro Vannucci, who towards the mid–70s bought land in the area of designation of origin in the Piaggia locality, convinced that thanks to the excellent exposure and clay soil, cool and dry, would obtain a great Carmignano wine.
He produced the first Piaggia Carmignano Reserve DOCG in 1991 and since then his passion for wine increased, so much to involve in this project his daughter Silvia, now owner of the company. In the early 90s about 15 hectares in one of the best areas of the designation were purchased, a kind of natural cradle a few hundred meters from the village of Carmignano, where you can enjoy a splendid view over the city of Florence. The current extension of the property is 25 hectares, 15 of which are planted with vines.
