✨ Technical Specifications
Piccini's 'Collezione Oro' Riserva represents a contemporary tribute to the rich winemaking heritage of Tuscany, crafted by a family whose viticultural legacy dates back to 1882 when Angiolo Piccini founded the estate with just over seven hectares of land. This 'Gold Collection' bottling is typically a Chianti Riserva DOCG, showcasing a classic blend dominated by Sangiovese (around 90%) complemented by a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are sourced from selected hillside vineyards where clay-limestone soils and excellent sun exposure foster optimal ripening. Following traditional fermentation, the wine undergoes a meticulous aging process, spending approximately nine months in oak casks to develop its characteristic complexity, yielding a profile rich with ripe red cherries, wild berries, subtle spices, and a velvety, well-integrated tannic structure.
🍾 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.
