With a legacy spanning five generations, Piccini invites you to explore the timeless art of the Tuscan winemaking tradition: “Collezione Privata Toscana IGT” displays opulent style reminiscent of the grandeur of the Tuscan Renaissance.

The extended cooking durations, the interplay of sweet and savoury flavours, and the indulgence of fatty and succulent dishes beautifully complement the opulent character of our wine. It serves as an impeccable accompaniment to a delicious and luxurious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

Flavors of liquorice and ripe fruits dance on the palate, pleasing the senses. The supple tannins contribute to a velvety texture, weaving a lingering and profound finish.
