The strength of the family – Italian cuisine – Italian Cuisine


Tenute Piccini includes five wineries in some of the most renowned areas of Italy for the production of wine. The latest acquisition takes us to Sicily, to discover the wines of Torre Mora, born in the shadow of Etna

The values ​​of tradition handed down from generation to generation, the respect for the vine, the terroir and local typicality they guided the Piccini family through a 130-year history.
IS Mario Piccini, CEO of the company, who tells his baptism in the world of wine with emotion and gratitude, a world that has kidnapped and fascinated him day after day. “Once my father handed me a glass of wine, asking me what I thought of it.

I still remember the surprise of that tasting: sweet and tannic, savory and acid, all integrated in a balance never felt before. Since then I carry that memory with me and try to relive it to share with others the joy and amazement that can cause a glass of perfection. "
That tasting was an important point in the life of Mario who, like his predecessors, invested everything in search for the most suitable territories to the production of wine. Over time, four other splendid estates have joined the company heart located in the Chianti Classico, in Maremma, Montalcino and in two volcanic areas, Vulture and Etna: together, they have almost 150 hectares of vineyards and form the universe of Tenute Piccini.

In the shadow of the volcano

Torre Mora is thecompany of the Piccini family on Etna. The vineyards extend between the towns of Castiglione di Sicilia and Linguaglossa and all are grown organically, with full respect for an extraordinary environment, where the black of the lava stone lights up with the colors of the broom and the spontaneous scrub. The volcanic soils and the important excursions between day and night offer elegant, fragrant wines characterized by a mineral texture that makes them vibrant. In the vineyards, with an age between 10 and 25 years, only native grapes are grown: the Nerello Mascalese and the nerello Cappello, with a dark berry, and the carricante with a white berry.

Four wines in the sign of tradition

There are four labels produced in Torre Mora. Etna Bianco Scalunera is delicate and elegant. Its aromas of yellow flowers, aromatic herbs and plums and the intriguing flavor make it excellent in combination with steamed white fish, crustaceans, spaghetti with clams and sushi. Etna Rosato Scalunera offers itself greedy with the scents of small red fruits and the notes of spices and citrus fruits.
When tasted, it is fresh and with the suitable structure to accompany fish soups, white meats, pizza and a summer classic, ham and melon.
Etna Rosso Cauru, despite its name meaning "hot" in Sicilian dialect, is the freshest of the two reds: it has fragrant aromas of blackberries, violets and roses and a vibrant, fruity and citrusy taste.
