The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, which are fermented and aged in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, with a rich and full-bodied character, balanced by a vibrant acidity and firm tannins. Piaggia Il Sasso Carmignano is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the elegance and finesse of Tuscan wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Piaggia Il Sasso Carmignano offers a deep ruby color, aromas of dark fruit, dried herbs, and an earthy, mineral complexity.On the palate, the wine is nicely balanced, with a medium body and firm tannins that linger on the finish. Flavors of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco lead to a complex, savory finish. This is an excellent example of the Carmignano region's classic style, and will pair nicely with a variety of dishes.
