HEALDSBURG, Calif., Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Foley and Mario Piccini announced today that they have entered into a partnership to market and distribute Piccini's portfolio of wines in the United States.

Founded by Angiolo Piccini in 1882 and starting with 17 acres of land in the Chianti region, the Piccini family has been crafting wines in the heart of the Tuscan countryside for over 130 years. Now with the fourth generation, the family tradition continues with the brother and sister team of Mario and Martina, who are creating a range of classic wines from five estates, and almost 1,000 acres, scattered throughout Italy.

The legacy wine of the family is Piccini Chianti, which boasts a distinctively orange label that brought fame to the name. Within a decade of the Orange Label introduction, Piccini became one of the top-noted Chianti producers worldwide. "Orange is a color that transmits energy, youth and a positive can-do approach," says Mario Piccini, Managing Director. "We've taken that orange and have applied it to everything else we do."

In addition to the Chianti Orange Label, Memoro wines, which include a red, white and rose, consist of grapes from 'all four corners of Italy' and developed rapidly worldwide as a truly unique Italian wine experience. "We give as much importance to innovation as we do tradition. Piccini will always be Chianti, but we dare to experiment and incorporate new techniques. We dare to pioneer," says Mario.

"Our partnership with Foley Family Wines shows our desire to significantly increase focus on the United States. We are very passionate about the wines we produce and are excited to build awareness among American consumers," stated Mario Piccini. "Piccini is our first foray into Italian wines," said Bill Foley, "I've always felt that Italian wines would be a great addition to our portfolio but it was very important to find the right partner. Piccini wines are of excellent quality and the Piccini family is as innovative and as passionate about the wine business as we are."
