Generous and disarming from the first pour. Mocha, black cherry, tobacco and sweet licorice root unfold over a foundation of French oak and dried herbs, layered, plush, and immediately expressive. The texture is the real draw here: dense yet fluid, with everything knit together seamlessly. A fine showing from Carnasciale's second label.

Podere Il Carnasciale

Podere Il Carnasciale is the tiny Tuscan estate behind Caberlot, a grape found nowhere else on earth, a natural crossing of Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown on a single hillside in the Valdarno di Sopra.
