"Carmione" Carmignano Docg 2021 - Fabrizio Pratesi
Sangiovese 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Cabernet Franc 5% Merlot 10%
Very intense ruby red color. Very broad aromas with hints of fruit, cassis and spice, fine elegant and persistent. On the palate it expresses itself with a powerful structure but also with a measured balance, fine full taste with sweet, dense, balanced tannin accompanied by a fresh acidity that extends into fruity and spicy notes. Elegant finish.
Planting density: 6,250 vines/ha Cultivation system: Guyot Soil: medium stony mixture derived from marly limestone of alberese type and clayey shale (Eocene) sandstone (Oligocene) medium-high presence of skeleton. In the area is evident the Apennine influence for which there are strong temperature ranges especially in summer; viticulture is therefore developed in a particularly suitable environment. In the plots where the Merlot vines are planted, the presence of clay is higher Agronomic conduct of the vineyards: Organic Harvesting: by hand in 15-kg crates Vinification: temperature-controlled steel tank for about 25 days Aging: about 12 months in first-passage and second-passage French wood barriques; after bottling, it is left to rest in the bottle for a few months before being released on the market
