Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano is a red wine produced by the Capezzana estate in the Carmignano appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The vineyards are located on the hillsides of the Montalbano range, where the vines benefit from the warm Mediterranean climate and the cooling influence of the sea breeze. The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and other local grape varieties, and is aged in oak barrels for several months to add complexity and depth. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied Italian red has a dense nose of blackberry, dried fig, and baked cherry.The palate brings notes of plum, blackcurrant, and earth spice, with a hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. This is a robust and elegant wine that will reward careful cellaring.
