Tenuta di Artimino

DESCRIPTION
The imposing Villa Medicea La Ferdinanda, which dominates the estate, is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wine has been made here since the time of Ferdinando de’ Medici, who was its founder and owner in the late 16th century. And here Carmignano was born, a red wine of great class, which first saw the contribution of Cabernet alongside Sangiovese. Today the winery is owned by the Olmo family, and Annabella Pascale takes care of it full time. Next to the winery is the Biagio Pignatta restaurant, with the very talented chef Michela Bottasso in the kitchen, and the Paggeria Medicea hotel.
