Hidden Tuscany Rating
The Poggilarca Carmignano DOCG from Artimino, in magnum, blends 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Franc with precise 12-month aging in wood. Its main drawback lies in the absence of any awards or guides mentioned for this wine.
Carmignano DOCG appellation named, production zone Tenuta di Artimino (Prato) specified, blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Franc justified by the zone.
No awards or guides mentioned; the producer Artimino is named but its reputation is not attested, which remains a lack of information.
Price reduced to 75 cl of €18.12 for a Carmignano DOCG, consistent with the appellation; the crossed-out price of €41.73 and the 1.5 L format are real.
Precise pairing with pollame arrosto, aromatic profile described (ciliegia, melograno, sentori speziati) and advice to serve slightly chilled after decanting.
Artimino estate named and located, detailed vinification: fermentation and malolactic in steel, 12 months in wood, 4 months in steel, 6 months in bottle.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll and time seems suspended. It is there that I discovered a wine that embodies the quintessence of this land: the Poggilarca Carmignano DOCG from the Artimino estate, a treasure presented in its magnum format.
This wine takes root in the Carmignano appellation, a historic production zone nestled near Prato, in Tuscany. The Artimino estate, heir to a rich past, cultivates its vineyard there with passion. The Poggilarca is the fruit of a traditional and thoughtful blend: 85% Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, to which is added 15% Cabernet Franc, bringing a touch of finesse and structure. Vinification takes place in steel tanks for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, thus preserving the purity of the fruit, followed by 12 months of aging in wood, then 4 months in steel and finally 6 months in bottle, allowing the wine to find its balance and complexity.
When you pour this Poggilarca, you are immediately seduced by its intense color. On the nose, a bouquet of ripe red fruits offers itself to you, dominated by cherry and pomegranate, enhanced by subtle sentori speziati and a balsamic hint that invite tasting. On the palate, you discover a tannic texture that is present yet very supple, supported by a refreshing acidity that prolongs the pleasure. The persistence is remarkable, inviting you to savor each sip. The magnum format, meanwhile, is not just a matter of aesthetics; it ensures a slower and more harmonious evolution of the wine, allowing it to develop its full depth.
This Carmignano is an ideal companion for your moments of sharing. I particularly recommend it with a pollame arrosto, where its soft tannins and fruitiness will pair wonderfully with the delicate flesh of the poultry. It also pairs very well with mushroom-based dishes or characterful cheeses, revealing its full versatility. If you wish to enjoy it without waiting, a brief passage in a decanter will soften its tannins and open up its aromas. Serve it slightly chilled, and let it express itself in your glass. This magnum is an invitation to conviviality, to share a wine that tells the story of Tuscany, a wine I had the pleasure of discovering and that I recommend without hesitation.
