Description

Let me introduce you to a wine that encapsulates the very essence of Tuscany: Piccini Collezione Oro. This is not just a wine; it's a story told through the lens of the Sangiovese grape, brought to life by the esteemed Piccini winery, a name synonymous with Italian winemaking tradition and innovation. Imagine yourself amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany, where the sun kisses the vineyards, and the air is filled with the scent of ripening grapes and earth. That's where the magic of Collezione Oro begins. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wine is a celebration of the Sangiovese grape, the heart and soul of Tuscan winemaking. It's a varietal known for its vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and complex aromatic profile. But it's not just the grape itself; it's the terroir – the unique combination of soil, climate, and topography – that gives Collezione Oro its distinctive character. This red wine offers a harmonious symphony of flavors that dance across your palate. You'll be greeted by bright cherry and plum notes, interwoven with hints of leather, earth, and a subtle touch of spice from its aging in oak barrels. Its firm tannins provide structure and depth, leading to a long, satisfying finish. With its versatile nature and well-balanced flavour profile, this red is an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. To start, its acidity cuts through the richness of classic Tuscan dishes such as hearty pasta with wild boar ragu or a flavourful bistecca alla Fiorentina. The wine's earthy notes also make it an excellent pairing for mushroom-based dishes, like risotto or grilled portobello mushrooms with herbs. It comes at its best around 18°C.
