Il Carnasciale Carnasciale 2021
Tuscany, ItalyCarnasciale is the second label of Il Carnasciale's iconic Caberlot, ready for drinking earlier and made with young vines, but with all the layers, and care, given to its big brother. Podere Il Carnasciale is situated in the southern Chianti mountains in the Valdarno di Sopra region of Tuscany, 30km north of Siena and Arezzo and 60 km south of Florence. True to original owner’s (Wolf Rogosky) vision, the secluded hilltop estate is run today by Moritz Rogosky, and his daughter Elle, together with enologist and winemaker Marco Maffei. This Caberlot, a naturally occurring crossing of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, is cultivated exclusively at Podere Il Carnasciale. After a native stainless start to the ferment, MLF is finished in a French 40hl botte grande where it remains for 22 months, before bottling and 6 months' rest prior to release. Crunchy plum, boysenberry, crushed dark florals are seasoned with cracked peppercorns and structured with fine, muscular tannins, taking this to a lingering saline finish. Grace, plus gravitas, which is not an easy achievement.Tasted: 15 July 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $115.00 | 750ml | consignment |
