✨ Technical Specifications
Piccini Chianti Riserva represents a timeless expression of Tuscan winemaking, rooted in the historic Chianti region where the Piccini family has operated since 1882. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese with traditional minor blending partners, this Riserva undergoes extended aging in wooden casks as dictated by DOCG regulation. The high-elevation hillside vineyards and sunny Mediterranean climate of Chianti yield fruit with rich acidity and vibrant cherry character, complemented by nuanced spice and fine tannins developed during barrel maturation.
🍾 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.
