✨ Technical Specifications
The story of Piccini begins in 1882 with Angiolo Piccini, who started with a mere seven hectares of vineyards in the heart of Tuscany. Guided by a simple philosophy—'It is not how much wine we make, but how much passion we put into it'—the family has championed Tuscan winemaking for over four generations. This classic Tuscan red wine represents the vibrant, approachable soul of the region, typically dominated by Tuscany's signature grape, Sangiovese. Grown on hillside vineyards rich in clay, limestone, and galestro soils, the grapes benefit from warm sunny days and cool nights, preserving their bright acidity and red-fruit character. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and sometimes aged briefly in oak, this wine showcases a lively profile of red cherries, wild berries, and a touch of rustic Tuscan spice, embodying the everyday drinking tradition of central Italy.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1882 by Angiolo Piccini and Maria Teresa Totti in the heart of Chianti, Piccini has evolved over five generations into one of Italy's most celebrated and dynamic family-run wine enterprises. Guided today by Mario Piccini, the family balances deep-rooted Tuscan heritage with forward-thinking winemaking across an esteemed portfolio of estate vineyards. The producer is renowned for its expressive Sangiovese-driven wines, ranging from benchmark Chianti Classico and refined Brunello di Montalcino from Villa al Cortile to innovative cuvées like the pan-Italian blend Memoro and the Super Tuscan Sasso al Poggio.
