    Tasting Notes

Its taste is enveloping and of great structure. It is a wine of great elegance, full-bodied and intense with a good persistence. Furthermore, Carmignano Riserva is able to age for many years without changing its organoleptic qualities.

The Spontaneous fermentation takes place, without selected yeasts, in contact with the skins while the malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, here the wine rests for at least 18 months. Finally, the Carmignano Riserva ages for at least 6 months in the bottle before being put on the market.
