Tasting notes
This wine is mostly Sangiovese, counting about 70% of the blend, that has seen more aging time in oak. The 2015 Carmignano Riserva is fermented in wood and aged in small French oak for two years. Only 10% of the barriques are new, and the rest are in their second or third year. This is a loosely knit red wine with ample textural fiber. At its core, the wine shows black cherry, plum, spice and cured tobacco. This warm vintage delivers rich fruit with some lingering sweetness. Some 30,000 bottles were made.

The 2015 Carmignano Riserva Piaggia is another flat-out gorgeous wine from the Vanucci family. Bright, lifted and wonderfully focused, the 2015 has so much to offer. Red berry fruit, rose petal, mint, sage and anise all add layers of nuance, but the 2015 is one of the wines where everything just works. Alluring in its beauty. The Riserva is a wine of pure and total class that balances fruit richness and energy, as the best Piaggia wines do so eloquently these days.
