Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano 2022

A dense, compact and well-framed carmignano with aromas of red berries, clay and flowers. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins. Textured, with a powdery touch. Densely fruited with a focused finish. Try from 2025.

Dusty and floral, the 2022 Barco Reale opens in the glass with a pretty blend of autumnal spices, cedar shavings, Tuscan dust and dried strawberries. It sweeps across the palate with ease, soft-textured and supple, while mineral-tinged red berry fruits slowly saturate toward the close. A web of fine tannins frames the experience as the 2022 finishes with hints of orange citrus and a tart cherry twang.

Black currant and cherry fruit is prominent in this vibrant, juicy red. There are also flavors of graphite, olive and tobacco underlined by dusty tannins. This leaves a mouthwatering impression. Drink now through 2028. 1,100 cases made, 3,400 cases imported.
