Dedicated to the estate's paternal figure Mauro Vannucci, the 2016 Carmignano Il Sasso (with 40,000 bottles produced) is a compelling blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. This vintage delivers ample power, yet the wine remains smooth and elegant from a tactile point of view. Sangiovese's identity emerges with aromas of wild berry, tilled earth and rose hip. The two international grapes serve to shape the firmness and structure of the mouthfeel. This wine is fermented in oak and later aged in medium-toast neutral barrique for 12 months.

Made with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2015 Carmignano Il Sasso Mauro Vannucci is a rich, plump and cherry-driven wine. The bouquet shows lots of dark fruit, and there are sweet oak-driven tones of cinnamon and allspice. This wine is soft and yielding on the finish, with good textural richness and succulence.
