The estate’s 2004 Carmignano Riserva Elzana is all elegance and class. This finessed, layered wine possesses plenty of vibrant, primary fruit but will need at least a few years of bottle age to develop its full breadth of secondary and tertiary notes. Still, it is clear from the wine’s silky, ripe tannins and gorgeous textural elements that it is a wine of superb potential. The Elzana is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent two years in oak. Today it comes across as more understated than the Riserva Vigne Alte. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024.
