What reviewers say
“Here’s a clean, paste‑ready English wine review with a strong focus on oak and aromatics: Review This Carmignano shows beautifully integrated oak and an expressive aromatic profile.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Intense and thick ruby red color. Complex on the nose, reminiscent of fruits of the forest jam, sweet spices, thyme and cocoa. Full-bodied. Excellent balance between alcohols and poly alcohols, acids and tannins, with a persistent finish and a pleasant sweet, fresh and fruity follow-through.
Piaggia Il Sasso Carmignano is an Italian red made from Vermentino. It comes from Carmignano, in Italy. At $39.40 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $30–60 band.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Piaggia Il Sasso Carmignano lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italy (947 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,413.
