The Barco Reale is winning similar plaudits to its predecessors for its bright and gulpable fruit. Intense yet elegant on the nose, the wine is well balanced on the palate, with refreshing acidity, supple tannins and a purity of flavour. This wine is the young version of Carmignano, made with the same grapes and the addition of Canaiolo. It is named after the historic Medici Royal property known as the Barco reale, enclosed by a boundary wall which was over 30 miles in length. Capezzana's wines have never been better (12 x 37.5 cl)

Capezzana BARCOREALEdiCarmignano Toscana
Description: BarcoReale is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet and 10% Canaiolo Nero. It is ruby red in colour, with attractive youthful perfumes of ripe, red fruit, strawberries and redcurrants with the French oak adding a spicy depth. On the palate, it has lovely balance between lively, red fruit characters and smooth, spicy tannins. The quality is sustained right to the finish. Grapes are grown on 104 hectares of vineyard in the Carmignano DOC. The vineyards are situated at approximately 150-200m above sea level, facing south/south-east and south-west. BarcoReale is a younger version of the Carmignano from Capezzana, as the fruit is sourced from slightly younger vines in the same vineyards. The Capezzana estate, 24 km north west of Florence, is owned by the Conti Contini Bonacossi family, and at one point all seven children worked in the business. The younger generation is now firmly in charge of the estate, with daughter Benedetta Contini Bonacossi the winemaker. The highly talented Stefano Chioccioli, a protégé of the well-known peripatetic winemaker Vittorio Fiore, is the estate’s wine consultant. Capezzana’s wines have never been better and they continue to improve over the years. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £126.88
