Barco Reale di Carmignano

  • Regular price £21.50

The Capezzana estate, near Florence in Tuscany, has been making wine since at least 804 CE. It’s a blend of two Italian grapes (Sangiovese and Canaiolo) and two French ones (Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), a practice that has likely been going on here for centuries. The blend makes a very harmonious and balanced wine, neither light nor heavy.

Tasting NotesA successful blend of Tuscan Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux that shares the middle-weight style of both. A very well judged and well-balanced wine that has some smoky notes like hot embers backing up the juicy red berry fruits. Enjoyable tannic grip to close - this would be good with a plate of charcuterie.
