The estate’s 2007 Carmignano Riserva is Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 12 months in French oak. The Riserva flows with notable purity in its dark red fruit, caressing the palate from start to finish in a soft, supple expression of Carmignano buttressed by silky, refined tannins. The French oak is very nicely integrated, adding to the wine’s overall sense of polish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.
