Luca Maroni: 96 The Story Passion, tradition and know-how are the key ingredients, which Piccini combine to reach the artful quality of all Piccini wines, and “Collezione Oro” stands to prove it. The Gold Collection, expresses its exceptional quality and the perfect balance obtained through a modern interpretation of Tuscan terroir. Winemaking The Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes coming from the wineries best sites are picked and fermented with an extended maceration. Having reached the ideal point of ripeness, these grapes are processed separately, at controlled temperature before barreling down. The wine is then aged for nine months, 30% in barrique and 70% in oak barrels. Tasting Notes The wine has an intense and persistent fruity bouquet, with subtle notes of vanilla coming through. Collezione Oro displays soft and velvety tannins with a lingering smooth finish. The silky elegance is obtained through the meticulous ageing, which enhances its spicy and opulent style while conveying complexity and equilibrium that are the essential elements of every great wine.
