Piccini ‘Histrio’ Organic Anfora Toscana Rosso 2020/22
Description
Piccini are one of Italy’s most dynamic and innovative producers.
Now in their fourth generation of family ownership, they have over 140 years of expertise behind them. Their roots lie in Tuscany – and today they’re considered one of the region’s leading wineries.
This vibrant blend combines two classic Tuscan grape varieties, Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. It spends 12 weeks maturing in special clay amphorae, which gives it an elegant texture while still allowing the fruit flavours to take centre stage.
Expect delicate floral aromas alongside fresh cherry and red-berry flavours. Its soft tannins and long, fruity finish make it the perfect pairing for red meats or aged cheeses.

Butterfly Conservation
Our Vision
A world where butterflies and moths thrive and can be enjoyed by everyone, forever.
Our Mission
Butterflies and moths are a vital part of our wildlife heritage and are valuable as sensitive indicators of the health of our environment. The stark fact is that butterflies and moths continue to decline at an alarming rate, despite Butterfly Conservation's best efforts over the last 40 years. Our data shows they are both declining faster than most other well-documented groups of plants and animals, so our task is both daunting and complex. For many species, we know what needs to be done to halt the decline and support recoveries. In order to tackle these losses and achieve the aims of the charity, we have to dramatically increase our capacity and influence over the next few years. Our work will benefit other wildlife and the ecosystems upon which all life depends.
Falling numbers are an early warning to all wildlife that cannot be ignored. We have more than 40,000 members in the UK and 32 volunteer-run Branches throughout the British Isles. We employ over 80 people, including many highly qualified scientists, making us the world's largest research institute for butterflies and moths. We operate 36 nature reserves and we are leading or involved in 73 landscape-scale projects to conserve habitats.
