Inside the Casole d’Elsa plant, activities are bustling. Every day, a bustle of trucks animates the large yard. Just beyond, sheltered in a slice of green, stands a small jewel. Its high golden walls glow under the sun’s rays, guarding, inside, a row of wide wooden barrels. This is Piccini 1882’s new wine cellar, a veritable temple dedicated to all the Group’s wines.
“We are in a unique place,” comments Mario Piccini proudly, “entering here means entering the heart of our winery. Caressing the barrels reconnects me with the raw material of our work: wine and the slow passage of time that builds and shapes its qualities. Here you can touch the history of our family, our past and our future. But this is not only a place deputed to memory; it is also and above all a treasure chest destined to preserve beauty. The beauty that is expressed in a smile, in a look, in things done well. For it is only through beauty that the world can grow.”
