A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cab Sauv, Dark Ruby with aromas of black fruit, cacao and herbs. On the palate blackberry, cherry and ripe plum flavors with tobacco and oak notes. Fine soft tannins with a medium finish, ending with a savory and earthy oak character. Drink now, at its peak.

Had this at a restaurant with a nice pasta bolognese. Consistent quality year to year. A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, Dark Ruby with aromas of fresh black fruit, sweet cacao and herbs. On the palate ripe blackberry, cherry and red plum flavors with tobacco and cedar notes. Fine tannins with a medium+ finish, ending with a savory and earthy character. Have a glass now as it’s tasting great. Has good short-term aging potential. Nice value! A Fav!

Was lovely. We did aerate it with our Aervana electric wine aerator first which softened it nicely. Great with steak!

Tried a couple of years ago at a tasting, thought it needed time so I put a few bottles in my cellar, waiting paid off! A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, Dark red color, with aromas of black fruit and sweet herbs. On the palate blackberry, ripe plums and dried cherry flavors with smoke, tobacco and oak notes. Fine soft tannins with lingering finish, about medium, ending with earthy tones. This is about at its peak and should be consumed over the next year or so. Nice value!

Good legs. Hint of dryness that cuts the richness.

Day 1: smells like leather, tannic
Day 2: smells like cherries and like a manzanilla sherry
Both days: tastes Delicious!

Love carmignano. Cab gives the San Giovese structure and body. Good with short ribs.
