Crognolo Magnum wooden box 2019

Product available upon reservation

First label produced in 1998, it takes its name from a wild plant that abounds within the estate, the cornus . It is a wine that strongly represents the vision of its creator, between the enhancement of the territory and innovation achieved by a tradition capable of evolving. The base is a historic variety of Sangiovese from clones of the oldest vineyard on the estate, the Vigna dell’Impero, commissioned in 1935 by Amedeo di Savoia Duca d’Aosta. From this historic variety, grafted onto vineyards located in stony soils rich in marl, the best selection of Sangiovese is made, which makes up over 90% of the Crognolo. To this is added a small amount of Merlot which gives softness, immediacy and color to the wine. Download the Technical Sheet .
