The 2018 Il Carnasciale "Il Caberlot" is a singular and highly sought-after wine made from the rare Caberlot grape, a unique crossing of Cabernet Franc and Merlot found only in this vineyard. Grown in the rugged hills of Tuscany, the vines are meticulously tended to produce extremely low yields, ensuring the highest quality fruit. The wine is crafted with great care, undergoing spontaneous fermentation and extended maceration before aging for 22 months in French oak barrels. Bottled exclusively in magnum to ensure optimal aging potential, "Il Caberlot" is released in very limited quantities and is highly prized by collectors. The 2018 vintage is a masterpiece, offering profound depth, complexity, and the ability to age gracefully for decades. It is the perfect companion for special occasions and pairs beautifully with game, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.
