2021 Piaggia IL Sasso CarmignanoWith recorded history of red wine production since the Middle Ages, Carmignano is a small, ancient, central Italian subregion ten miles northwest of Florence. Carmignano grows Sangiovese with great success in low lying hills of 160 to 650 feet above sea level. It is the only Tuscan DOC that required the inclusion of (up to 20%) Cabernet Sauvignon in its Sangiovese based wines years before it became popular in the Super Tuscan blends.
