What you want from $30 bottles of Tuscan wine; structure & life. Firm, piercingly acidic, with maxed out amounts of cherry & spice. Largely Sangiovese, some Cabernet (as is required in Carmignano) -- Highly Recommended...

The 1925 is the first vintage they are very small but their art collection is the biggest in the world.

Sangiovese with 10-20% of cabernet--called "uva francesca" locally--and both express themselves beautifully. There is plenty of sour cherry, plum, and green tea Sangiovese here, and the cabernet fruit adds a darker blackberry and leather nuance. The heady aroma and intense flavors are nicely supported by felty tannins, bright but integrated acidity, and a silky medium-weight body.
