Antica Cinta, literally Old City Walls, refers to the history and the land of Piccini family, its Middle Ages villages as San Giminiano, Castellina and Siena, clustered behind massive stone defensive walls. Antica Cinta pairs a very traditional appellation with a modern communication to represent the Chianti of the 21st century. Mario Piccini wanted to create a wine that could become the spiritual and historical "heart" of the Chianti.
Only the finest Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes, selected during harvest, are destined for our Chianti Riserva ORO.
Having reached the ideal point of ripeness, the grapes are processed separately at controlled temperatures with a long maceration.
90% SANGIOVESE 10% CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Deep ruby red.Of intense and persistent fruity bouquet, flavour develops sinuously, subtle notes of vanilla coming through in the end. Warm palate with soft tannins, this wine reveals himself in velvety shades, rich in structure, with a long aftertaste.
Ideal with roasts, pasta with spicy sauce or BBQ. Serve at 16 – 18 degrees C.
