Piccini's 'Buon Governo' pays homage to a historic Tuscan winemaking technique known as 'Governo all'Uso Toscano,' which dates back to the 14th century. The name itself is inspired by Ambrogio Lorenzetti's famous frescoes of 'Good Government' in Siena, representing the harmony between human labor and the Tuscan landscape. This traditional method involves refermenting the wine with a small portion of semi-dried Sangiovese grapes. This process coaxes out rich, vibrant cherry aromas, softens the acidity, and imparts a velvety texture. Sourced from the sun-drenched, clay-limestone hills of Tuscany, the blend is dominated by Sangiovese, delivering a beautifully approachable yet historically rich expression of the region's rustic soul.
