    In Carmignano the vine was already cultivated in pre-Roman times, about 3000 years ago, as evidenced by the wine jars and tasting cups found in the Etruscan tombs.

    In the early Renaissance, a woman, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi, built the first “casa da Signori” and nine farm houses with the relative wine-growing systems; it was 1475. In the eighteenth century a married Cantucci Bourbon enlarged the farm and bought new farms; it also introduced an exemplary administrative method, the documents of which are still preserved today in the company's historical archive.

    After the Bourbon del Monte family, the company passed to the Adimari Morelli and then to the Franchetti Rothschilds and, by the widow Sara de Rothschild, and then to the Contini Bonacossi, our family, in 1920.

    SANGIOVESE 100%

    This pure Sangiovese comes from the «Viticciana» vineyard.

    This vineyard, commissioned by our father Ugo Contini Bonacossi, was designed and built by him.

    It has the characteristic of having the rows interrupted by two "giropoggio" roads, in counter-slope, which channel the rainwater and avoid the erosion of the precious earth.

    The rows are embellished with rose plants chosen by him and lovingly watered in summer. Perfect exposure. The grapes are harvested by hand.

    VINIFICATION: steel tanks. 7 days of alcoholic fermentation followed by another 13 days of maceration with the skins before racking.

    ELEVATION: 50% new barriques and 50% used barriques for 18 months.

    AGING: in the bottle for at least 8 months.

    COLOR: Intense ruby ​​red

    BOUQUET: Wide, elegant, persistent, fruity with spicy notes.

    TASTE: Impalpable and poignant, refined but strong as he was, baroque in the scents suddenly even affected, innate elegance of Bulgarian roses, face powder, red fruits, mustard and cardamom, mint and Kentucky tobacco, in the mouth with spicy but silky tannins and sweet with a solar and luminous energy as was his very long and proud life as a noble farmer.

    Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Merlot 25%, Syrah 25%.

    Born in 1979 from an idea of ​​Ugo and Vittorio Contini Bonacossi, who wanted to produce a wine with a Bordeaux blend in Carmignano. The first vineyard, consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, was located on the gravelly alluvial soil of the Furba stream, from which it takes its name.

    In 1992, when the S. Alessandro vineyard, entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon, went into production, the blend was changed; in 1998 Syrah was added.

    ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:
    COLOR: Very intense ruby ​​red, almost impenetrable.
    BOUQUET: Wide, complex, elegant, fine, sweet, fruity with intense spicy notes.
    TASTE: Soft, structured, of great volume, opulent, with dense and sweet tannins, acidity in balance with the structure, fat and density of the wine. Long, persistent, fruity aftertaste with taste sensations of small red fruits of the undergrowth married to intense and complex spicy notes.
