A Tuscan love story, told through our wines

The family story begins with Angiolo’s foundation of a small Tuscan cellar in 1882 and follows the development of the Piccini name through successive generations. It describes a Tuscan range extending from Chianti to Maremma and the coast, where vineyards overlooking the Gulf of Follonica experience maritime breezes and long summer sunlight.

The article also discusses the use of clay amphorae as neutral, porous vessels that permit oxygen exchange without imparting the aromatic influence associated with wood. It concludes with the 2011 creation of Memoro for the anniversary of Italian unification, combining grapes from four regions as a vinous representation of the country.
