In Carmignano, in the central Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, there is a small museum where wine is the star and where wine becomes an excuse to tell the people who live and have lived in Carmignano, about their history and culture, a sharecropping and peasant civilisation now disappeared. In the evening, courses and tasting events are held.
The rooms come in succession in those which were part of the Niccolini cellars, where at the beginning of the last century copious loads of wine were shipped out to Switzerland, Germany and even overseas. The Pro Loco of Carmignano manages the museum, owned by the city administration. In the rooms there are old farming tools, but also a lot of information from archival research. Moreover Carmignano is a land of ancient winemaking traditions.   Thanks to a Grand-ducal announcement of 1716 by a member of the Medici family: Cosimo III, it is one of the oldest and ahead of its time Doc in Europe. Maybe the oldest one. Cosimo III, Doc, ahead of its time, is one of the oldest in Europe, perhaps the oldest.
On the walls there are quotes of this wine that famous and less famous writers, painters and poets have made ​​over the centuries Some rarities are on display such as the Melis collection: eight hundred bottles from all over the world, some even a century old. Furthermore, installing a few multimedia stations where to set off for another journey, this time a virtual one, is now under consideration.
