Descrizione
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.

Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo (typical regional blend)
