Piccini Solco Toscana Leggero Appassite 2022

Piccini Solco Toscana Leggero Appassite 2022 is a masterful expression of Tuscan winemaking tradition, crafted using the refined leggero appassimento technique. This light drying process gently reduces the water content in the grapes, concentrating their natural sugars and enhancing the wine’s flavor complexity and elegance.

Composed of 50% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Syrah, this blend delivers a harmonious balance of structure and finesse. The grapes undergo a delicate pressing followed by controlled temperature maceration, ensuring the preservation of bright fruit aromas and a smooth tannic profile. After fermentation, the wine rests in stainless steel vats before maturing in the bottle, resulting in a polished and refined finish.

The wine captivates with an intense red color enriched by deep purple hues. On the nose, it reveals vibrant aromas of ripe red fruits, notably cherry and black cherry, intertwined with subtle sweet spices that add depth and intrigue. The palate is greeted by luscious flavors of black raisin, cherry, and rich chocolate, complemented by smoky oak nuances that enhance its complexity.

Full-bodied yet elegant, Piccini Solco Toscana Leggero Appassite 2022 offers a silky tannic texture that provides a pleasant softness and a long, persistent finish. This wine has earned 99 points from Luca Maroni, underscoring its exceptional quality and refined character.
