PODERE IL CARNASCIALE

Podere Il Carnasciale is situated in the southern Chianti mountains in the Valdarno, thirty kilometers from Siena and Arezzo, and sixty kilometers south of Florence.

The variety, or rather biotype, Caberlot, was first identified in the late 1960´s in an abandoned vineyard near Padua by the agronomist Dr. Remigio Bordini.

While the grape has the organoleptic characteristics of Cabernet Franc, its ampelographic profile however is closer to that of Merlot.

“Over the years Il Carnasciale has acquired cult status among readers who crave the finest Tuscany has to offer, and rightly so. These are some of the most unique wines from Italy.”
