Piccini Chianti Superiore
Description:
Chianti Superiore is on the thin line between Chianti and Chianti
Classico. The Piccini Family is one of the few Chianti producers who
made a choice for quality by producing Chianti Superiore—a new
denomination introduced in 1996 that fits perfectly with the family
wine philosophy that quality always prevails over quantity. The Chianti
Superiore is a result of careful selection of the best Sangiovese,
Cabernet and Merlot grapes. Hand-harvested grapes are immediately
fermented in the modern cellar at the Piccini estate. A prolonged
maceration with the skins give the wine complex aromas and a fruity
nose. Bright ,light ruby-red, almost translucent. An elegant, layered
complex nose with touches of bitter and sweet plum, black cherry and
spices. Great balance and refinement on the palate. Long, lively
finish. A lovely wine of great tenure, with a pleasantly dry and supple
tannic flavor.
