Podere Il Carnasciale Carnasciale is made from Sangiovese and Caberlot, a crossing of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that is cultivated exclusively at Podere Il Carnasciale. Harvest is done by hand, with a strict grape-by-grape selection. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel, followed by aging in used and new French oak barrels for around 22 months. Barrels are tasted prior to blending with the more approachable wines, usually from younger vines, selected for the second wine, “Il Carnasciale” over "Il Caberlot".
