✨ Technical Specifications
Piccini's Villa Cortile Riserva represents the family's deep-rooted passion for Tuscan winemaking, a journey that began in 1882 with Angiolo Piccini. Located in the prestigious hills of Tuscany, the Villa Cortile estate benefits from a unique microclimate where maritime breezes meet warm, sun-drenched clay and limestone soils. Crafted from Sangiovese, this Riserva undergoes extended aging in oak casks, allowing its robust tannins to soften and develop complex layers of dried cherry, leather, tobacco, and earthy forest floor. It embodies the classic, rustic elegance of Tuscan winemaking, bridging generations of family heritage with the distinct, sun-baked terroir of the region.

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.
