2023 Daniele Piccinin - Mesdames

$38.00

Producer | Daniele Piccinin

Region | Veneto

Variety | Durella, Pinot Nero

Alcohol | 12.5%

Originally destined to become the base for sparkling rosé Rosa Per Voi, Rosato Mesdames took an unexpected turn. Daniele blended Durella with Pinot Nero (Kalipè) press wine before an unexpected malolactic fermentation softened the wine’s naturally high acidity. Rather than force it into a sparkling style, he chose to bottle it still - and Rosato Mesdames was born. Fresh red berries, delicate herbal notes and a gentle mineral edge lead into a soft, refreshing palate.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Daniele Piccinin started not as a winemaker but as a restaurateur. It was during this time that he tasted a wine made by Angiolino Maule (president of VinNatur) that so impressed him that he eventually became his pupil. Daniele now cultivates seven hectares of vines in San Giovanni Ilarione, in the province of Verona.

Daniele’s goal is to respect nature. It’s an approach he takes to both his viticulture but adopts in the cellar. There is no filtration, nor clarification. His winemaking relies on slow, spontaneous fermentation, with only a small amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
