The uncompromising precision known from his still wines also adorns his bubbles. The wine is full-bodied, yet focused. Nice fruitiness (citrus, fresh apple) supported by a pronounced minerality and freshness provided by the acids od Durella. It is considered by many connoisseurs to be one of Italy&#8217;s best sparkling wines. Spontaneously fermented still wine was matured for six months in stainless steel tanks, followed by a second fermentation in bottles and two years on lees. Piccinin\u00a0Muni Epoch\u00e8, from Durella is to be enjoyed chilled to 8-10\u00baC.<\/p>\n<h5>His path<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danielepiccinin.it\">Daniele Piccinin<\/a> started his career as a restaurant owner. One day, when he came across a bottle of wine by Angiolino Maule, who is also the President of VinNatur, he realised that wine can be very different, very characterful. He was quite shocked by the distance between the wine and everything he has tasted so far. He visited Maule soon after and Daniele&#8217;s new career was born.<\/p>\n<p>He will never forget the words Maule used to explain to him the essence of &#8220;natural&#8221; winemaking: &#8220;You crush the grapes and the wine is born.&#8221; This was followed by the sale of his restaurant&#8217;s share and the purchase of 3.5 hectares of vineyards on the hills above the village of San Giovani Ilarione, north-east of Verona. The altitude of the plots is between 200 and 500 metres. There are basically two types of subsoil &#8211; limestone-clay and volcanic. From 2006-2009 he was a guest at Maule&#8217;s cellar while the 2010 vintage wines are already vinified in his own cellar. Today, Piccinin cultivates 5 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Durella. He produces around 15,000 bottles of still and sparkling wines a year.<\/p>\n<h5>Philosophy<\/h5>\n<p>Daniele has been an uncompromising minimalist since day one of his winegrowing journey. The route has two main points. To work in harmony with nature and, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, to preserve and nurture the local Durella. It is an indigenous variety characterised by its minerality, sharpness and high acidity. It is suitable for both still and sparkling wines. As a varietal still wine, it reminds us of some Chablis wines on many parameters.<\/p>\n<h5>Vineyards<\/h5>\n<p>The vines grow on steep slopes surrounded by trees, ensuring biodiversity. The principles of the work are based on biodynamics, which means that everything is geared towards ensuring and maintaining biological balance, even on hot summer days. The latter is ensured by not mowing the vineyards (except directly under the vines), which, among other things, enriches the humus layer year after year. Vineyards host mint, thistles, clover, alpha-bean, legumes, and summer and winter cereals. Pruning is relatively late &#8211; in February and March &#8211; to reduce pathogen infiltration into the wood of the vine. During the vegetative period, Daniele treats the vines almost individually, ensuring optimum grape load on each individual vine. Sulphur and copper are used when really needed, otherwise sprays made with plant extracts are used to protect and promote natural resistance.<\/p>\n<h5>Cellar<\/h5>\n<p>The minimalist approach continues, of course, in the cellar. Fermentations are spontaneous. The wines are aged in inox containers or in used barrels. Wine is not filtered before bottling and &#8211; usually &#8211; sulphites are not added. Daniele&#8217;s wines are full of local character and incredible finesse. The same applies to classically produced (Champagne method) sparkling wines, which are a true masterpiece of the winemaker and nature working together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\">Daniele Piccinin only bottles Pinot Noir on its own in exceptional vintages. The colour is pale ruby red. The nose is quite mineral at the start, earth, sage, traces of black pepper and evolves into ripe red and even black fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. Taste: soft tannins, rounded acidity, slightly herbal, blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries. Nice and long aftertaste. The 2012 vintage is outstanding and optimally ripe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[500,501,499,527,548,532,505],"product_tag":[533,528,529],"class_list":["post-3224","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-country","product_cat-italy","product_cat-natural-wines","product_cat-piccinin","product_cat-sparkling","product_cat-veneto-en","product_cat-winegrower","product_tag-blue-pinot","product_tag-daniele-piccinin-en","product_tag-veneto-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
