An area particularly suitable for the production of wine is that of Carmignano where the Piaggia di Silvia Vannucci company stands. <\/span>Fine red wines such as Piaggia Carmignano Riserva DOCG, Carmignano il Sasso and Poggio de ‘Colli are produced here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>Carmignano<\/span><\/span><\/strong> area <\/span>has an ancient wine vocation. <\/span>Numerous testimonies in fact report that a <\/span><\/span>fine red wine<\/span><\/span><\/strong> was produced in these hills since the time of the <\/span><\/span>Etruscans<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and <\/span><\/span>Romans<\/span><\/span><\/strong> . <\/span>Its importance grew over the years, so much so that in 1600 the Tuscan scholar Francesco Redi defined the Carmignano <\/span><\/span>wine<\/span><\/span><\/strong> as ” <\/span>wine worthy of Jupiter<\/span><\/strong> “. <\/span>Almost a century later, <\/span><\/span>Grand Duke Cosimo III de ‘Medici<\/span><\/span><\/strong> recognized the Carmignano area as one of the best wine producing areas in Tuscany, a title that was assigned only to three other production areas: Chianti, Pomino and Val d’Arno.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The reason is simple: we are in an environment particularly conducive to the growth of the vineyards thanks to the proximity to the Apennines which entails a cool climate even in summer allowing a slow and constant ripening of the grapes. <\/span>To this is added the very particular soil rich in limestone. <\/span>It was therefore no coincidence that <\/span><\/span>Mauro Vannucci<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , a man with a great personality, decided to produce the wines of his Piaggia company in these lands, which over time had become a point of reference for the whole area. <\/span>But the story is actually less obvious than it seems. <\/span>Vannucci, an entrepreneur, initially only looked for land to live in and build the house.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the plot he chose there were also vineyards and from that moment, aware of the potential of the area, he decided to test himself and produce his wine. <\/span>The first recognition took place in 1991 with the <\/span><\/span>Piaggia Carmignano Riserva DOCG<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , and since then the rest is history. <\/span>It is fair to say that <\/span><\/span>Carmignano’s<\/span><\/span><\/strong> current good reputation <\/span>is partly due to his far-sighted work and boundless passion, both inherited from his daughter <\/span><\/span>Silvia Vannucci<\/span><\/span><\/strong> who is now head of the company.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The cultivated grapes, spread over 18 hectares, are <\/span><\/span>Sangiovese<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , the queen grape of Tuscany, but also <\/span><\/span>Cabernet<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , which has perfectly adapted to the clay and mineral soils of Poggio a Caiano. <\/span>From their union, red wines such as <\/span><\/span>Poggio de ‘Colli<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , a powerful and fresh 100% <\/span><\/span>Cabernet Franc<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , the soft and intriguing <\/span><\/span>Carmignano il Sasso<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and the flagship of the house, <\/span><\/span>Carmignano Riserva<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , excellent representatives of its territory, were born.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
