    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The usual blend of 70% Sangiovese, with 30% Cabernet and Merlot from one of the top crus in the region, the hill of Piaggia. The wine is aged in barriques for 24 months followed by 6 months finishing in bottle. Deep rich, brooding and spicy, a nose packed with ripe blackcurrant, ripe svelte and velvety on the palate, flavours of cherry, cassis, myrtle with savoury clove and herb touches, more complex than the Il Sasso but tighter so it will therefore need a year or two years more in bottle than its sibling before being approached

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2007 Carmignano Riserva Piaggia is rich, sensual and totally convincing. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red fruit. Sweet, floral aromatics appear later, followed by mocha, licorice and new leather. This is a marvelously complete, textured Piaggia.
