Carmignano wine is a wine steeped in ancient roots, in Carmignano wine was produced since the Etruscan and Roman times, as evidenced by the discovery of wine jars inside some Etruscan tombs and the assignment by Caesar to his veterans, between 50 and 60 BC, of ​​some lands between the Arno and Ombrone, cultivated since then with vines. Carmignano can also boast of having been chosen by Grand Duke Cosimo III de'Medici (in 1716), as one of the 4 wine-growing areas of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The "Motu proprio decree" and the "Notice" in fact regulated with precise rules the production, the geographical limits, the trade of the wines produced in these areas, constituting the first "doc" existing in the world.

But it's not just about history, Carmignano is a sumptuous wine, which combines the elegance with the opulence of its vines. The vines included in the composition of the Carmignano DOCG wine are Sangiovese, Canaiolo nero, Cabernet franc and Cabernet sauvignon. And the result of this blend is an excellent wine with warm fruit, based on black cherries and blueberries, with good body and always original, elegant, with deep nuances that come from Cabernet. It takes some time in the glass, but is layered and tasty, with a nice fleshy fruit framed by vigorous tannins and the classic smoked notes of Cabernet. Thanks to the incredible acidity and the powerful tannic kit, Carmignano often has a remarkable aging potential, even of tens and tens of years.
