Description
History
Carmignano is one of Italy’s oldest wine regions, with a viticultural history dating back over 800 years. Sassolo represents a classic Carmignano style within a tradition-meets-modernity approach. The 2023 vintage benefited from favourable conditions that produced balanced ripeness and clear aromatics.
Grape variety
Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo (typical regional blend)
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel with controlled maceration to build structure and elegance. Aged in oak barrels of varying sizes for several months, followed by bottle rest to ensure balance and roundness.

Tasting notes
Ruby red with garnet highlights. Aromas of ripe red fruit such as cherry and plum, with sweet spice, subtle herbal notes and a hint of vanilla. On the palate: smooth and silky texture, balanced tannins, lively acidity and a long, harmonious finish.
Food pairings
Pairs well with roasted red meats, light game, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, aged cheeses and traditional Tuscan fare. Also excellent as a contemplative glass.
