Label / history
The wine's narrative recounts a young farmer, Angiolo, who chased a crow from his crop and reached a clearing below a hill. Crossing the slope, he found an old vineyard and gradually restored it. This first vineyard became the origin of Tenuta di Mangerina and an early root of the Piccini wine business.
