CHIANTI ‘ORANGE’ DOCG

Chianti Orange is the flagship of Piccini wines. The orange label marks an unique moment not only in the history of Piccini family, but also in the history of Chianti in the world: it marks the first modern image of Chianti for the 21st century. For the first time, in 2000 the Chianti label was simple to the point of minimalism. But the real CHANGE was brought up by the colour: ORANGE is a family legacy as it symbolizes all the energy, youth and passion that characterize our family.

Grapes: 90% , 5% Ciliegiolo, 5% Canaiolo Alcohol content: 12.50 +/- 0,5 % Vol. Denomination: DOCG Production area: Tuscany

SOIL: The terrains in the zone are just as diverse as the altitudes and various types of soil characteristic of the Chianti zone bear no relation to the communal boundaries. However it can be said that clay is the major component as well as fragmented rock in the form on stones

FERMENTATION: A selection of the best Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Canaiolo , identified uniquely with the soil of Tuscany, is processed at a controlled temperature with a long maceration period.

TASTING NOTES: CHIANTI PICCINI ARANCIO, which is defined by the great success of its unmistakable label, is a deep, ruby red with an intense and persistent fragrance of mature red fruit. It’s a well- structured, smooth wine, with soft tannins and distinct notes of red fruit.

FOOD PAIRING: Thanks to these particular characteristics, Chianti Piccini Arancio may be paired with a wide variety of foods, from first course dishes and hearty soups to roasts and pizza….what’s most important is to drink it in good company.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: Recommended serving temperature is 18˚C.
