Like olive oil, wine is from always the most important product of this zone; wine vases have been find also in Etruscan tombs. The very good quality of these two products is due not only to the favourable characteristics of the land, but also to the careful working which maintains the traditional production processes.
In these zones are produced Chianti Montalbano D.O.C.G., "Bianco della Valdinievole D.O.C.", "Vinsanto della Valdinievole", "Bianco Empolese D.O.C.". The wines produced at Carmignano are: Carmignano D.O.C.G., Vin Ruspo D.O.C., Barco Reale D.O.C., Vinsanto of Carmignano D.O.C.. Chianti Montalbano belongs to the
great family of Chianti wines. Also having its own personality, it maintains the characteristics common to all Chianti wines : the beautiful ruby color and the characteristic vinous scent with traces of violet. The wine of Carmignano is long ageing and it goes well with roast and game .
In 1990 it has obtained D.O.C.G. (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) recognition. In addition to it we find Vin Ruspo and Vinsanto, which are valued just like Carmignano , both D.O.C. since 1982. In 1994 D.O.C. was awarded also to Barco Reale which, like Ruspo, comes from the same types of vines as Carmignano; it is entirely "a Carmignano wine", but it is aged and sold at a younger age (after only one year).
