Piccini

The family-owned Piccini winery was established in 1882 by Angiolo Piccini.

In 1920, his son Mario continued its development by extending the company’s business across the domestic market in Italy. Piccini entered a second phase of rapid growth in the early 1960s, under the leadership of third-generation Pierangiolo Piccini. In 1983, Mario Piccini joined his father and helped make the U.S. market a priority, in a successful effort that strengthened the Piccini name.

Through the use of personal visits to American markets, on top of the production of high-quality wines, the Piccini winery has solidified the family stronghold on the Tuscan wine segment in the United States.

The Piccini winery is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone and possesses strong Tuscan traditions. Now in its 126th year of business, the Piccini winery torch has been passed down to the fourth generation of Piccini’s. New DOCG wines now complete the entire Tuscan portfolio including Chianti, Chianti Superiore, Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva and a new Super Tuscan, Sasso al Poggio and soon-to-be-released Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.

Piccini Chianti DOCG

In 1882 Angiolo Piccini founded Piccini in the province of Siena. He built a company that was ahead of its time, able to make the most of the work in the vineyards and the cellars, with the ability to conquer the demanding palates in all of Tuscany. His son, Mario, at the helm of the company in the 1920's, introduced Piccini wines to all of Italy. He also began exporting abroad, immediately garnering a place in the forefront of the wine industry. In the 1960's Perangiolo Piccini strengthened the company's leadership, contributing to the growth of the entire Italian division of winemaking. Mario and Martina, the fourth generation of the family, are involved in developing innovative techniques with the family wine making tradition. Today, Piccini is among the world's top 30 producers and exporters of wine. Fruity nose, cherry driven, fresh palate of light, fine fruit, medium body. Drinks incredibly well with simple pasta dishes, pork or classic roast chicken. An absolute perfect pizza wine.


Piccini Sasso Al Poggio

"Super Tuscan" is a generic term used to refer to great wines of Tuscany. The Piccini Family, whose dedication to excellence has been the guideline since 1882 in Tuscany, proves again that determination brings forth quality with Sasso al Poggio. A fascinating example of the Piccini winemaking tradition, Sasso al Poggio exemplifies a great Super Tuscan wine as well as character and personality. This wine explodes from the glass with scents of black cherry, licorice, earth, minerals and a stylish coating of valillin oak. Deep, full and lush on the palate, with core of succulent fruit, beautifully integrated tannins, and a long, complex, utterly profound finish.


Piccini Chianti Classico Riserva

Piccini Chianti Classico Riserva has become a benchmark for the wine industry. The soul of this wine is the Sangiovese grape, blended with a special selection of Merlot and Cabernet grapes. Each of these varietals is processed separately following the traditional methods of fermentation on the skins. A special blend, with lengthy oak aging, delivers a complex, delicious, balanced, authentic Chianti Classico Riserva. Dark cherry, black pepper, licorice, firm tannins and lengthy finish.


Piccini Chianti Superiore

Chianti Superiore is on the thin line between Chianti and Chianti Classico. The Piccini Family is one of the few Chianti producers who made a choice for quality by producing Chianti Superiore—a new denomination introduced in 1996 that fits perfectly with the family wine philosophy that quality always prevails over quantity. The Chianti Superiore is a result of careful selection of the best Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot grapes. Hand-harvested grapes are immediately fermented in the modern cellar at the Piccini estate. A prolonged maceration with the skins give the wine complex aromas and a fruity nose. Bright ,light ruby-red, almost translucent. An elegant, layered complex nose with touches of bitter and sweet plum, black cherry and spices. Great balance and refinement on the palate. Long, lively finish. A lovely wine of great tenure, with a pleasantly dry and supple tannic flavor.


Piccini Chianti Classico

In a land of ancient traditions that was civilized in remote periods by the Etruscans, who left many traces of their activity in the wine sector, a legendary wine was created: Chianti Classico. Authentic because it originated in the territory of Chianti; certified because its production is heavily controlled from the vine to the bottle; unique because its quality and identity are protected in Italy and throughout the world and cannot be duplicated. Bright red with a hint of purple. Plum, violet notes mix with lush, ripe berries. Expansive and alive on the palate, with a lingering, velvety feel in the mouthl. The long finish is buried in fruit. A versatile wine.
