Muni Daniele Piccinin

Daniele Piccinin’s Epoche 2020 is a vivid reminder that sparkling Veneto is not synonymous with Prosecco. From the native Durella grape, grown in Lessinia, this wine channels the grape’s naturally searing acidity into a sparkling expression of remarkable clarity and drive. Made by the traditional method, whole cluster, with 24 months on the lees, it shows immediate precision and persistence. The nose offers ripe yellow fruits, citrus zest, white peach, and lemon peel, accented by a savory edge. On the palate, brisk acidity and firm effervescence provide a taut backbone, carrying flavors of stone fruit, chalk, and saline minerality. Fine, persistent bubbles lift the chalky notes into a bone-dry finish of notable length. 92 Miranda Franco
