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.
