Occasional Wine Note: Carmignano has a history of blending Bordeaux grapes with Italian varieties that pre-dates the advent of the Super Tuscan by centuries. This offering is a great example of the many find blends you can find from this subregion of Tuscany. Ripe red fruits with underlying tones of tobacco and an earthiness that really ties it all together. Delicious!

A deep set of red plums and berries with some fine tobacco leaf and savory herbs, mineral and porcini. Juicy and intense on the palate with lots of chalky, nicely chewy tannins and a juicy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

Critic Score: 90
A slightly brooding red, with firm tannins underlying plum, cherry and earth flavors, while accents of iron and tobacco emerge on the solid finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
