It’s bright and dark at the same time; explosive and reserved; deeply textured and suave; voluptuous and sleek; a mouthful and a mindful(l) of wine. Barbera is the freshness, the zippy acidity with lifted red tones—the extrovert; Croatina the muscle and tannin, the quiet big guy. 'Riva Bianca' is serious business, a boldly structured red of tension, gravelly tannins, deep, herbal inflection, potent \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003edried plum and dark berry fruit, a crushed rock finish to infinity, rounded off with a balsamic note characteristic of the Solinga valley. It has an explosive kaleidoscope of characteristics when young that morph from one hour to the next, and will continued to be served with more time in the bottle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Source","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39609496371280,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/products\/PicchioniRivaBianca.jpg?v=1674099675"},{"product_id":"picchioni-rosso-dasia-2018","title":"Picchioni Rosso d'Asia 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamed in reference to Andrea's daughter Asia, the Rosso d’Asia is perhaps the most straight and serious of the wines in his line-up. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt’s a still red wine grown within the Buttafuoco dell’Oltrepò Pavese appellation, but with 90% Croatina in the mix it cannot use this DOC on the label. A big helping of Croatina renders a fleshy and broad-shouldered wine, brooding with spice and substantial but gentle structure. Muscular, savory and complex, the glass leads with wild blakc a and blue berreis, sour cherreis, wet forest floor, and black tea, the 2-month maceration on the skins bringing equal voice to the earthy and dark personality as much as it does the wine's youthful fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Source","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40013434486864,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/products\/PicchioniRossoD_Asia.jpg?v=1674099775"},{"product_id":"picchioni-ipazi-bonarda-rosso-2019","title":"Picchioni Ipazia Bonarda Frizzante 2021","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"t-copy\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face=\"roboto, helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eA local speciality, sparkling Bonarda (aka Croatina) is the Oltrepo's answer to Emilia's Lambrusco, albeit with a much more subtle bubble. Secondary fermentation in tank is started using the natural sugar of the grapes and indigenous yeasts, creating a more raffish and almost understated effervescence than anything super carbonated. A brilliant ruby red in the glass, it’s marked by Marasca cherry, wild fruits, and floral notes, before revealing a darker and gamier side; a gentle interplay of blue, black, and red fruit, violet and earth persists throughout. 'Ipazia' strikes an elegant balance between fine-grained tannins and a fresh, not-quite bone-dry finish that'll keep you coming back for more. Go on then!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Source","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40025169756240,"sku":"","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/products\/PicchioniBonardaIpazia.jpg?v=1674099087"},{"product_id":"picchioni-buttafuoco-rosso-solighino-2020","title":"Picchioni Buttafuoco Rosso Solighino 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e'Solinghino,' named for the valley in which these vineyards sit, is the entry-level bottling in Picchioni’s line-up of wines. And while the ‘baby’ of his offerings might appear to be simple, fun, and fruity at the onset, serious complexity emerges with some time after opening. Derived of 60% Croatina, 30% Barbera, and 10% Ughetta, the hillside for these vines is located in the Solinga Valley on a slope of vertigo-inducing steepness; here calcareous sandy soils bring aromatic lift, while a mixture of rounded, granite-like quartzite cobbles impart strength to a red dominated by raspberry, roasted blood orange, fresh green herbals, and tea-like tannins. Simple vinification, a short stint in cement, followed by a few more years developing in the cellar prior to release makes for a yet polished mid-week pop and pour, perfect for fending off the chills of these last few weeks of winter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Source","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41204306083920,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/products\/PicchioniSolinghino.jpg?v=1649715833"}],"url":"https:\/\/biondivino.com\/collections\/andrea-picchioni\/medium+ottonese.oembed","provider":"Biondivino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
