Tasting Notes

Since 1882, the Piccini family has been pursuing a dream, which, over time has become a solid business project: Tell the story of Italian wine through the oenological exellencies of its territory. Piccini1882 includes five niche farms of Italy, all organically run, and its brand is classified as one of the most distinguished Tuscan brand in the world. Today Mario Piccini leads the company, supported by his sisters Martina and Elisa, together with his children Ginevra, Benedetta and Michelangelo who are personally involved in the business activities.

A selection of the best hilly and low yielding sites combined to improved Winemaking techniques underpin this limited edition. The Charmat method here is defined by a slow second fermentation and a prolonged, 3 months rather than the regular 20 days, aging period in pressurized tank. This results in an extremely intense bouquet supported by a fine perlage, a balanced cuvée, as Elegant as a Venetian Dress.

Made exclusively from glera grapes from the Veneto region. Glera is a late ripening, disease-prone grape variety, for these reasons we do select hilly, hence more ventilated and less humid, areas that allow the grapes to reach full ripeness while avoiding plant diseases, likely to compromise the primary aromas of the grapes. The Charmat method also helps in retaining primary fruit character making this wine a straightforward expression of terroir. A wealth of delicate aromas, unfolding into white fruit and flowers notes for an enhanced tasting experience. FOOD PAIRING = Prosecco is a fantastic food wine.

About this Wine

Tuscany

Tuscany is the oldest wine region in Italy, with a long history dating back over 2700 years. The region is on the Western coast of Italy, stretching from the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea all the way to the Apennine mountains, with the majority of the region being quite hilly.

Contributing to around 6% of Italy's total wine output, Tuscany is the third most planted region, but only the eight biggest producer. Much of this can be attributed to the hilly terroir and poor soils leading to lower yields, but generally higher quality wines. The region produces far more red than white wine, and is responsible for two of the most famous Italian red wines, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

Chianti was first classified in 1716, and the region of Tuscany now has 29 DOC and 7 DOCG classifications. In the 1970s 'Super Tuscan' wines emerged of supreme quality, commanding very high prices. Although they were initially produced outside the DOC or DOCG zones, most of the regions have since been classified, though some producers still opt to use the simpler and less restrictive IGT labelling.

The famous red wine Chianti is based on the the Sangiovese variety, though is most commonly blended with Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. The blending of multiple grapes is common, even Bordeaux blends can be found. White wines produced include Vermentino, Vernaccia, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay.
