99 / 99"Mario Piccini opens the doors of his cellar, inviting you to taste his "Collezione Privata" (Italian for "Private Collection"). This selection has been meticulously curated by Mario Piccini himself, and his signature on each bottle stands as a personal guarantee of the wine's quality. Following maceration, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of large barrels, barriques, and second and third passage tonneaux, with specific barrels reserved for the Sangiovese and barriques and tonneaux for the international grapes. The result is a harmonious and well-structured wine with rich complexity. 40% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 20% Sangiovese."

Tasting Notes
"Collezione Privata Toscana IGT" displays opulent style reminiscent of the grandeur of the Tuscan Renaissance. This period, characterized by the richness and prosperity of Florence, captured the world's attention. The inspiration behind crafting this wine draws from the culinary delights of that era, particularly Caterina de' Medici's renowned stracotto dish. This delectable creation left an indelible mark on culinary culture in royal courts across Europe. The original recipe prescribed a slow-cooking method for the beef in Tuscan red wine for over three hours. It also involved enhancing the cooking sauce with unique ingredients, including chili pepper, pine nuts, almonds, and dried raisins.
Pays homage to this ancient tradition by harmoniously blending Tuscan heritage with the great international cuisine. The extended cooking durations, the interplay of sweet and savory flavors, and the indulgence of fatty and succulent dishes beautifully complement the opulent character of our win
