Il Caberlot Toscana IGT 2016 - Podere Il Carnasciale (magnum, 1.5 l)

Tasting notes

"The 2016 Il Caberlot is a dark, spicy and intense wine that pricks the tongue with its freshness and its thickly concentrated fruit. The bouquet peels back with thick layers of blackberry, spice, leather and campfire ash. Those aromatic elements are all extreme, but they ultimately fit together with extreme precision. The wine offers just a hint of the pyridine, or green aromas you might expect of Cabernet Sauvignon, with plenty of the darkness and dimension you get with well-managed fruit harvested at optimal ripeness. The wine is fermented in steel and then aged in barrique (of which 80% are new) for 22 months. This wine is only released in magnum and some 3,150 magnums were produced."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Podere Il Carnasciale is situated in the southern Chianti mountains in the Valdarno, thirty kilometers from Siena and Arezzo, and sixty kilometers south of Florence.

The variety, or rather biotype, Caberlot, was first identified in the late 1960´s in an abandoned vineyard near Padua by the agronomist Dr. Remigio Bordini.

While the grape has the organoleptic characteristics of Cabernet Franc, its ampelographic profile however is closer to that of Merlot.

“Over the years Il Carnasciale has acquired cult status among readers who crave the finest Tuscany has to offer, and rightly so. These are some of the most unique wines from Italy.”
