Carmignano is a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes 80% and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is the only DOCG in Italy where one is obliged to use Cabernet Sauvignon, because thanks to the Medici, the Carmignano is made by the blend between Sangiovese and “ French grapes” which was Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel tins at a controlled temperature, because they have different maturing period. After the Manolactic fermentation made in stainless steel , Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon assembled together and set to ripen in French durmast tonneaux for a minimum period of eight months. After that it’s been bottled , our Carmignano remains another eight months in the bottles to refine .
We suggest to serve it in a red wine glass at a temperature of 18°C.

At Carmignano the vines have been cultivated already pre-Roman era, about 3000 years ago, as the Wine jars and tasting cups found in Etruscan tombs demonstrate. In the archives of state of Florence was found a parchment dated 804: it is a lease that as early as 1200 years ago in Capezzana vines and olives were cultivated for the production of oil and wine.
In the early Renaissance, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi built the first 'Nobleman's house' and nine farm houses with the wine-making buildings; It was 1475. Other generations and families followed on the estate property: the Biscotti, related to Medici, and the Marchesi Bourbon del Monte. In the eighteenth century a married Biscotti Bourbon enlarged the farm and bought new farms; also he introduced an administrative method exemplary, whose documents are still preserved in the historical archives of the company.
