'Solco' Piccini 2023

The 'Solco' from the Tuscan wine cellar Piccini is a red wine capable of enhancing the encounter between Sangiovese and international vines, yielding an expression of great pleasantness and accessibility, enhanced by the light drying process to which the grapes are subjected. In particular, the drying process leads to a greater concentration of sugars and aromas, a process that results in a softer and more fragrant wine. In addition, the unique stainless steel processing allows freshness to be preserved, resulting in a well-balanced red wine on the palate.

The Piccini 'Solco' originates from a combination of Sangiovese (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) and Syrah (10%) grapes that undergo a light drying process directly on the vine. The harvest is therefore carried out at a late stage and the grapes are then vinified in red with alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks in contact with the skins. Again in steel containers, the wine matures for a few months until final bottling, followed by a short rest in glass.

At first glance, the Tuscan red wine 'Solco' from the Piccini estate reveals an intense, almost impenetrable ruby red colour, traversed by purple highlights. The decisive olfactory range opens on fine hints of black cherry, ripe cherry and sultanas, surrounded by hints of sweet spices such as cinnamon and cocoa powder. The palate reveals good body and elegance, with a soft, rich and opulent progression further accentuated by velvety tannins. Thanks to its marked softness, Piccini's 'Solco' can be served both at the table, in combination with first and second courses based on various meats, and at the end of a meal, perhaps as an accompaniment to medium or long matured cheeses.
