Carmignano

Cherries and savoury red liquorice meet black plum, spice and tobacco. The palate is rich and warm, with a long, intense finish. The blend is eighty percent Sangiovese and twenty percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit comes from a west- and southwest-facing site with clay and schist over limestone. The estate covers 104 hectares and belongs to the Contini Bonacossi family.

Ripe red fruit leads with violet, cherry and a measured cocoa-spice note. The palate is balanced and structured, with enough softness to keep the wine composed rather than severe. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon give it both Tuscan lift and a darker, firmer centre. The finish is harmonious and persistent, carrying ripe fruit, spice and cocoa with steady, well-integrated depth.
