WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Piccini Collezione Oro Chianti Organic is produced using traditional winemaking methods combined with modern technology. Following harvest, the grape must undergoes maceration with the skins for a period of two weeks. Solids are then separated from the liquid to enhance tannin extraction. The wine is subsequently elaborated and stored in steel tanks to maintain its freshness and prevent oxygen exposure. Tenute Piccini's approach prioritizes expressing the inherent qualities of the Sangiovese grape and its Tuscan origin, with a strong emphasis on organic farming practices.
