✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Piccini family to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, Memoro (Latin for 'remember') is a masterful non-vintage blend that unites the diverse terroirs of Italy into a single bottle. This ambitious cuvee brings together four distinct grape varieties from four cornerstones of Italian viticulture: sun-drenched Primitivo from Puglia (partially dried in the 'passito' style for rich concentration), structured Montepulciano from Abruzzo (aged in oak for complexity), vibrant Nero d'Avola from Sicily, and soft, elegant Merlot from Veneto. The result is a warm, velvety, and deeply aromatic red wine that tells the story of a unified Italy, boasting luscious notes of dark cherries, figs, and sweet spices.
