Vin Santo di Carmignano Riserva Doc
Tenuta di Capezzana
The Vin Santo di Carmignano appellation is located within the Montalbano range, which runs from Serravalle Pistoiese to the Arno River, south of Artimino. The soils are very well drained and, depending on the area, composed of sandstone or clays and marls, have excellent exposure and cool ventilation that allow the heat to be mitigated on summer nights. Altitudes are very limited, reaching a maximum of 600 meters. The Carmignano area was known for its wines as early as 1300, and over the centuries several chroniclers wrote about the quality of the wine. In 1716 the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III dei Medici issued a proclamation that made it possible to demarcate the boundaries of the Carmignano wine production area, an area of particular importance for the production of Vin Santo.Read moreSold out
