Description
What kind of wine it is
Solco Piccini is a red wine crafted from a meticulous blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It displays a deep ruby colour enriched with purple highlights. The bouquet reveals notes of red fruits, blackberry and cherry, enhanced by hints of black tea. On the palate, it offers a vibrant body, supported by concentrated ripe fruit and silky tannins. The structure is defined by a balanced acidity, leading to a warm and persistent finish with pronounced spicy undertones.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Tuscany, from the Piccini vineyards situated between 200 and 300 metres above sea level. This altitude imparts a harmonious character, capable of combining intensity and freshness. The terroir provides a structured tasting experience with a clear regional identity. At the table, it pairs perfectly with rich meat sauces, naturally enhancing dishes based on grilled meats and game. It is equally satisfying when accompanied by mature cheeses or enjoyed on its own.
How it is produced
The production process involves the gentle drying of the grapes, aimed at naturally concentrating sugars and aromas. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the integrity of the fruit. The process concludes with bottle ageing to consolidate structural harmony. To fully appreciate its elegance, it is recommended to serve at a temperature between 18 and 20°C, allowing it to decant for about an hour.
