Piemme 2019

Piemme is the result of Elisabetta Geppetti’s dream to produce a 100% Petit Manseng. The grape variety, originally from Gascony, expresses, in its Maremma version, a vibrant aromatic complexity. Piemme is a full-bodied white wine, which combines power and elegance, in line with Fattoria Le Pupille’s winemaking philosophy.
