2020 Podere Il Carnasciale Il Caberlot

The 2020 Podere Il Carnasciale Il Caberlot is one of Tuscany’s true cult wines, made from the rare and proprietary Caberlot grape. Produced in tiny quantities, it stands out for its elegance, depth, and unmistakable personality, combining Bordeaux-like structure with a distinctly Italian sense of balance. Its reputation has grown steadily since the estate first championed this singular variety, making it a sought-after bottle for collectors and curious wine lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, youthful colour with plenty of concentration in the glass. The nose is typically layered and expressive, with dark berry fruit, herbs, spice, graphite, and subtle floral nuances, while the palate tends to be refined yet powerful, offering ripe fruit, fine tannins, vibrant freshness, and a long, polished finish. Though approachable with some aeration, this is a wine built for the cellar and should evolve beautifully over time. In a good vintage, it has the structure and complexity to reward several years of aging, gradually developing more earthy, savory, and tertiary notes.

Production
Il Caberlot comes from Podere Il Carnasciale’s distinctive vineyards in Tuscany, where the estate has carefully nurtured the rare Caberlot grape, a variety long associated exclusively with this property. The vineyards are farmed with close attention to detail, and the fruit is typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve purity and precision. Vinification is carried out with a focus on extracting elegance rather than heaviness, allowing the character of the grape and site to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined meat dishes such as roast lamb, beef fillet, game birds, or braised veal, as well as mushroom-based dishes and aged hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to let the aromatics and structure open fully.
