Wine Spectator 92 points – Ripe cherry and black currant aromas and flavors are clear and fresh, shaded by tobacco, leather, earth and iron notes. Intense and firm, with a mineral- and tobacco-steeped aftertaste. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2025. 8,750 cases made. -BS.September/2017
Wine Enthusiast 90 points – Black-skinned fruit and cedar aromas come together in this blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The fresh, structured palate delivers juicy black plum, tobacco and white pepper notes over a frame of chewy tannins. Enjoy through 2020..Kerin O’Keefe, April/2017
Vinous 90 points – The 2013 Carmignano is a pretty, understated wine with lovely Sangiovese lift and brightness. Sweet dried cherry, rose petal and mint add shades of nuance to this distinctly gracious, mid-weight Carmignano. All the elements are nicely balanced. Readers should expect a laid-back style..April/2018
This is the estate’s historic wine and is highly representative of the qualities of Carmignano. D.O.C. status was re-obtained in 1975 and D.O.C.G. in the 1990’s. It is produced from Sangiovese (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%). D.O.C.G. wines are matured for over one year in tonneaux and then laid down for a further twelve months in bottles.
