Description : With the red wine Pinocchio Piccini proposes a journey through 3 regions (Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna and Apulia) to recall the adventures of the famous Collodi puppet. The wine combines 3 great red grape varieties: the floral and complex Tuscan Sangiovese meets the freshness of the Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese, all wrapped up in the warmth of the black berry fruit of Negroamaro. The particular shape of the bottle is reminiscent of traditional flasks.
After a soft pressing and a short maceration on the skins to bring out the fruity characteristics of the wine, it is vinified and aged exclusively in steel to give this red wine greater lightness and versatility.
Intense ruby red in the glass, the nose reveals citrus, strawberry, blackberry and berry aromas, as well as spicy and aromatic herbs. The palate is fresh and lively.
Pinocchio goes well with salami appetizers, first courses and with pizza.
