Intense flavours of ripe plums, sweet spices, and aromas of rich fruitcake. The wine is made from slightly dried grapes, a technique used to increase the flavour complexity, with silky tannins leading to a long and generous finish.
"Memöro Italia", Latin for Remember Italy, was born as a cuvée wine from our family's Italian pride and created as a tribute to our country's exceptional wine-making legacy and love of life.

History: Piccini was founded back in 1882 by Angiolio Piccini who started with just 7 hectares. Piccini now has four separate estates in its portfolio and ranks as one of the most recognisable Tuscan brands worldwide with fourth generation Mario and Martina Piccini at the helm.
Regional information: Piccini have created a wine that brings together grape varieties from four distinct regions of Italy to represent the country as a whole. The grapes are sourced from the Veneto (Merlot), Abruzzo (Montepulciano), Puglia (Primitivo) and Sicily (Nero d'Avola).
Vinification: The blend of four grape varieties is harvested between early September (for the Merlot) and early October (for the Primitivo). The grapes are crushed, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel for approximately 12 days at controlled temperatures. The Montepulciano is aged for 12 months in small oak barrels.
