WINE MAKING PROCESS
Piccini Memoro Rosso is produced through a blend of grapes sourced from various Italian regions. The winemaking process involves crushing and destemming the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. An extended maceration period is employed to enhance extraction. Notably, the Montepulciano component is aged for 12 months in small oak barrels, with other components potentially aging in larger oak barrels. Tenute Piccini emphasizes sustainable and organic farming practices in their production.
