Description

A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Crafted from a balanced blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot grapes sourced from vineyards adjacent to Podere La Marronaia, Pico della Marronaia embodies the essence of a Super Tuscan wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously selected to ensure the highest quality. Fermentation occurs in cement vats at controlled temperatures between 28°C and 30°C (82°F–86°F), followed by aging in oak barrels for 18 months. This meticulous process results in a wine that is both robust and elegant, reflecting the rich heritage of Tuscany.

A Note from Our Vineyard

The name “Pico” is a heartfelt tribute to Pietro and Corrado, the sons of Luigi and Silvia, co-founders of Podere La Marronaia. Combining the first letters of their names, Pico symbolizes the family’s dedication to preserving and enhancing their winemaking legacy for future generations.
