Carmignano Riserva Le Farnete comes from a careful selection of Sangiovese (80 percent) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20 percent) grapes made in our oldest vineyards with perfect southern exposure for optimum ripeness.
Fermentation takes place with long macerations, pumping over and frequent soaking. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed to mature in medium-aged French oak barrels for a minimum of twelve months.
It is then bottled and aged in bottles before being placed on the market, for a period of not less than one year.

The Le Farnete estate is located in Comeana in the municipality of Carmignano, not far from Florence; it covers 50 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods and has belonged to the Pierazzuoli family since 1990. The estate’s most renowned products are Carmignano DOCG and Le Farnete extra virgin olive oil, and of course Barco Reale DOC di Carmignano and Carmignano DOCG Riserva.
