Piglio With your hands

Four-wine tasting at a Piglio winery

Piglio

Piglio grows Cesanese on terraces under the Ernici mountains, and the Chiarieri are one of the families working them. The tasting stays with the current vintages — what is in the cellar right now.

How the day goes

  1. Sit down at the cellar with the wines of the moment on the table.
  2. The family pours, and says what the vintage did to each one.
  3. There is a restaurant on the same site if you want to stay on.
