✨ Technical Specifications
Created by the historic Piccini family, Memoro is a tribute to Italian heritage, famously adorned with a compass rose to symbolize a journey across the four corners of Italy. The Memoro Vintage edition elevates this concept into a vintage-dated red blend that unites the distinct terroirs of the peninsula. It typically brings together Primitivo from Puglia for rich, sun-drenched dark fruit, Montepulciano from Abruzzo for structure and color, Nero d'Avola from Sicily for vibrant spice, and Merlot from Veneto to soften the blend with velvety texture. Partially aged in oak casks, the wine represents a harmonious bridge between modern winemaking and deep-rooted Italian traditions, offering a warm, inviting profile rich with dark cherry, fig, and subtle oak spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1882 by Angiolo Piccini with seven initial hectares in Tuscany, Piccini 1882 has evolved across five generations into one of Italy's most influential, multi-regional wine houses. Now directed by Mario Piccini alongside his family, the group commands extensive vineyard holdings across Tuscany, anchored by estates in Castellina in Chianti, Castelnuovo Berardenga (Fattoria di Valiano), Montalcino, and the Maremma. Viticulture prioritizes sustainable and organically certified management across estate parcels, situated on complex galestro, alberese, and clay-limestone soils blessed with sun-drenched diurnal shifts. In the cellar, Piccini balances contemporary precision with deep Tuscan tradition, utilizing both stainless steel and refined oak casks to accentuate Sangiovese's vibrant red cherry fruit, savory herbs, and supple tannins. Benchmark labels include the iconic Collezione Oro Chianti Riserva, Sasso al Poggio, Mario Primo, and the appassimento-style Solco, highlighting approachable, fruit-driven elegance and regional authenticity.
