SANGIOVESE CAMP: A Private Session with Silvia Batazzi of Azienda Piancornello

In celebration of Women's History Month, Sangiovese Camp will feature wines produced by Italian women winemakers!

About this Event: Eataly’s Vino Camp Series continues! Join us this month to learn all about Sangiovese. In this private session, enjoy an intimate dinner inside Eataly’s Bar Milano restaurant, where you will sit alongside Silvia Batazzi to taste the top selections of Sangiovese from the Azienda Piancornello estate. This elevated dining experience is an exclusive opportunity to discuss and learn directly from the winemaker while enjoying a multiple-course chef-curated meal paired perfectly with these unique wines.

About Sangiovese: Sangiovese, the most widely planted grape in Italy, is at once famous and infamous. We know and love the Tuscan variety, from full-bodied red wines like Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and as the catalyst of the Super Tuscan style. However, Sangiovese has not always been admired. Throughout its storied past, the grape has paved the way for Italian wines while simultaneously been at the heart of several viticultural controversies. The first records of Sangiovese can be traced back to the age of Etruscan winemaking, when the grape was named for “the blood of Jove.” This was no trivial nomenclature. Jove, called Jupiter and Zeus in Roman and Greek mythology respectively, was king of all the gods. When we experience the deep flavor, high acidity, and tannins in a wine made with 100% Sangiovese, we totally get it. From then over the next thousand years, the dark-berried vine has been cultivated primarily in its native Tuscan hills.

About the Producer: Piancornello is a winery born from strong ties with the land and the hard work of four generations, in a territory where Brunello, the village of Montalcino and a centuries-old history blend together. The property of Piancornello was acquired in 1950, consisting of a rural house dating back to the 1700s and the land surrounding it. Piancornello is located in the zone of Sesta, between Sant’ Angelo in Colle and Castenuovo dell’Abate, nestled on a plateau facing Val d’Orcia and Mount Amiata on the horizon; it covers a surface of around 20 hectares in an area characterised by a Mediterranean microclimate and steep hills rich in rocks and stones. Such favourable conditions allow organic agriculture and the production of genuine and elegant wines that are inextricably bound to the territory where they are produced.
