2022 Daniele Piccinin - Kalipè

$98.00

Producer | Daniele Piccinin

Region | Veneto

Variety | Pinot Nero

Alcohol | 12.5%

Sourced from a 600-metre-high vineyard planted from a French massale selection. Fermentation took place on the skins for the entire duration of the alcoholic process, with no punching down, only gentle pump-overs. It then rested for a year in small French oak barrels and another year in bottle before release. Elegant yet bold from a warmer vintage. Silky and aromatic, with gentle tannins and a savoury, lingering finish.

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.
