I Pianali


Toscana IGT Rosato

 

I Pianali takes its name from the locale where Argentiera is located, a plateau rich in plant species that affect the tempo of the seasons and the natural equilibrium. One of those species is the oleander, which is omnipresent on the Mediterranean coast. For the Middle Ages, it is supposed to have symbolised the harmony of the universe; for Argentiera, it is the symbol of a recurring new beginning: the opening of its flower signals the start of spring.

2024 Growing Season

The 2024 vintage was a challenging one, marked by a rainy spring and intense heat at the end of July. This year, more than ever, the timeliness of our decisions and the adaptability of our terroirs proved essential in bringing out the full potential of the grapes.
A mild, rainy winter (550 mm of rainfall up to April) encouraged early budding, while the spring rains slowed down the vegetative cycle. The May flowering ensured well‑aerated clusters and an even ripening.
After a rainy May and an unsettled June, a dry spell (from June 13 to September 8) induced moderate water stress, more noticeable in mid‑August. The 80 mm of rain in early September rehydrated the vines without affecting their health, and the fair weather between September 10 and 22 allowed the grapes to reach optimal ripeness.
