The top of the range, Carismante is a Gran Selezione wine respresenting Sangiovese in its purest guise. The 2015 is youthful, bright ruby in colour with intense aromas of raspberries, red cherry, menthol and vanilla. Mellow and supple on the palate, it has an extremely fine texture which is layered and creamy. This is a super elegant wine, absolutely delicious now with a long smoky finish. Grapes came from the Quercegrossa vineyard. Meticulous green harvest, picking and manual sorting of the grapes was followed by fermentation and maturation in French oak barrels for 24 months.
