WINE DESCRIPTION
Piccini Poggio Alto Toscana Governo all'uso is a premium wine produced by Piccini, a renowned winery in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made using the Governo all'uso method, which involves a secondary fermentation using dried grapes to enhance the wine's richness and complexity. The grapes are sourced from the Poggio Alto vineyard, which is known for its high altitude and well-draining soils, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas. The wine is aged in oak barrels, adding subtle notes of vanilla and spice to the wine's profile. The resulting wine is a full-bodied red with a deep ruby color, rich flavors of dark fruit, and a long, smooth finish.
