| Origin | Italy, Tuscany, Carmignano |
Carmignano, a small DOCG, just northwest of Florence, requires the blending of Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese. Regulations require Barco Reale to be made from the same grapes as Carmignano grown basically in the area. Think of Barco Reale di Carmignano as a Rosso. Just as Rosso di Montalcino is a lighter, fruity, earlier to drink expression of Brunello, Barco Reale allows you to gain an insight into the charms and stature of Carmignano. Capezzana, arguably Carmignano’s best and most well-known producer, makes a consistently engaging Barco Reale.
A wine with an intense ruby color with violet reflections, an intense aroma of berries and herbaceous and oak notes, a balanced flavor and pleasant freshness, with soft and velvety tannins and a persistent finish.

Dusty and floral, the 2022 Barco Reale opens in the glass with a pretty blend of autumnal spices, cedar shavings, Tuscan dust and dried strawberries. It sweeps across the palate with ease, soft-textured and supple, while mineral-tinged red berry fruits slowly saturate toward the close. A web of fine tannins frames the experience as the 2022 finishes with hints of orange citrus and a tart cherry twang.

A dense, compact and well-framed carmignano with aromas of red berries, clay and flowers. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins. Textured, with a powdery touch. Densely fruited with a focused finish. Try from 2025.

Black currant and cherry fruit is prominent in this vibrant, juicy red. There are also flavors of graphite, olive and tobacco underlined by dusty tannins. This leaves a mouthwatering impression. Drink now through 2028. 1,100 cases made, 3,400 cases imported.
