Pierazzuoli Le Farnete Carmignano 2019
80% sangiovese and 20% cabernet sauvignon, and aged 8 months in large barrels and 8 months in bottle, we promise this will impress you to no end. Rocking with deep color and medium-bodied blue fruits, it is lightly oaked, full of exuberant and myriad cherries — bing cherry, dried cherry, sweet maraschino cherry — plus toasted Asian spices, Tuscan sunshine, licorice, and shaved button mushrooms.
Pierazzuoli is a legit old-school producer, making organic wines, raising a few goats and chickens, making some killer organic olive oil, and offering a few rooms to stay in and a little Osteria to eat heartily at. We met them in 2012 and have never looked back! You’ll wish you bought more when you taste it - this is an incredible value and one of the finest Super Tuscans on this planet, in our opinion.
PAIRING IDEAS: While there is no denying a proper Bistecca alla Fiorentina would soar with this... sometimes you need a vegetarian option. In that case, this Portobello Mushroom Lasagna is the way to go.
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: From just a few miles down the road of where I grew up, Social Distortion is always the right call in my book. “Winners and Losers” is Mike Ness at his raspy, poetic and just plain cool, best.
