Tasting Note

This wine is deep ruby red in colour. The intense and fruity nose displays aromas of red plum and cherry with subtle hints of oak from barrel ageing. Rounded and ripe on the palate, the tannins are present yet well-integrated, and the overall structure is more vertical. The result is a modern and elegant style that emphasizes balance and drinkability.

Product Notes

Tenuta di Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano wine is an exquisite Tuscan blend. Holding a rich history tracing back to thousand years, it perfectly encapsulates the Italian wine-making tradition. This indulgent red wine boasts a balanced flavour profile of ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry underlined by subtle spice and earthy undertones. Aged in French oak barrels, it has a complex, full-bodied taste with soft tannins and a persisting finish. Its burgundy hue is simply inviting. It pairs delightfully with robust dishes like steak and matured cheese. It's certainly a testament to Italy's rich and proud wine heritage.
