Intense ruby red in color and extremely concentrated, Carmione offers a powerful bouquet of sweet wild berries, cedar, licorice and spices. This is a full-bodied, rich, well structured wine with jammy fruit, fine tannins and a persistent finish. Powerful and complex, Carmione is excellent with grilled red meats, game, ribs and aged cheeses.

Wine Advocate The estate’s 2004 Carmione is a blend of 60% Cabernet (Sauvignon and Franc) and 40% Merlot. This rich, sumptuous red is packed with sweet dark fruit supported by plenty of structure. It shut down quickly in the glass and will require some patience, but offers outstanding potential. It is a terrific effort from Pratesi. Anticipated maturity. 2009-2019. Score: 90. —Antonio Galloni, June 2007.

Wine Spectator Aromas of mint, currant and black licorice, with vanilla and cedar character. Full-bodied, chewy and very rich. Long and powerful. Serious for this estate. Best after 2007. 2,000 cases made. Score: 90. —James Suckling, October 31, 2006.
