Casa Piccini: Where Tuscan Tradition Meets Contemporary Craftsmanship
Casa Piccini: A Tuscan Legacy in a Bottle
Founded in 1882 in the heart of Tuscany, Piccini has been a symbol of Italian winemaking excellence for over a century. The Piccini family, rooted in the rich soil of Chianti, has passed down its passion for wine through five generations. This deep connection to the land and our traditions is reflected in every bottle we produce. Today, Piccini continues to celebrate its Tuscan heritage with the launch of “Casa Piccini,” a new wine that not only pays homage to the region’s winemaking traditions but also encapsulates the warmth and essence of what it means to feel at home in Tuscany.
Casa Piccini: A Contemporary Twist on Tuscan Tradition
Casa Piccini presents an innovative take on timeless Tuscan tradition by introducing a modern style of Sangiovese for today’s wine lovers. Piccini’s Toscana IGT wine beautifully captures the vivacious and energetic spirit of the vine, while reflecting the distinctive Piccini style. Inspired by the iconic “Chianti Orange” aesthetic, our wine boasts a contemporary label that perfectly complements its joyful nature.
Vinification Process
Casa Piccini is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, and 15% other indigenous varieties, proudly bearing the Toscana IGT designation—a symbol of quality and regional authenticity. Reflecting the true spirit of Tuscany, Casa Piccini refreshes tradition with a smooth, easy-drinking character. Carefully selected Sangiovese and Merlot grapes are vinified at controlled temperatures, with an extended maceration process that softens Sangiovese’s boldness, highlighting its delicious fruity notes.
Tasting Notes
Casa Piccini showcases a deep ruby red colour, accompanied by fragrant nuances of red cherry, black cherry, and plum. The palate is smooth and rounded, with notes of red fruit and subtle herbal hints, offering a warm, enjoyable experience and exceptional drinkability.
This versatile wine is the perfect companion for appetisers, succulent grilled meats, hearty soups, and flavourful cheeses. It’s a wine that brings out the best in a meal, adding a touch of Tuscan warmth to every dish.
