Carnasciale Carnasciale 2019 Tuscany Red IGT

Carnasciale 2019: Toscana Rosso IGT of great personality

Carnasciale 2019 by Podere il Carnasciale is a Tuscan red wine with a distinctive character, an expression of a unique production project strongly linked to the territory. Made from Caberlot grapes, a rare and original variety born from a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it tells a precise oenological vision: identity, research, and attention to the vineyard. It is a bottle designed for those seeking an Toscana Rosso IGT that is elegant, territorial, and outside the usual schemes.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Mercatale Valdarno, in the province of Arezzo, in a hilly area between the Tuscan Apennines and the Chianti Classico region. Here, the landscape and viticulture have coexisted for centuries, and the presence of rocky and sloping soils contributes to giving the wine tension, definition, and depth. The estate is divided into three parcels located in different micro-environments, an aspect that helps build complexity and nuances. Podere il Carnasciale works with a strong stylistic coherence, enhancing the grape variety and its connection to the terroir rather than seeking superfluous effects.

Tasting notes

Without a complete technical sheet, the sensory description of Carnasciale 2019 should be read cautiously, but the expected profile is that of a red with good intensity and finesse, with a present structure and an elegant setup. The Caberlot, by its nature, evokes a combination of energy, softness, and aromatic precision. In a wine of this profile, one can expect a balanced sip, supported by freshness and a measured tannic structure, capable of accompanying the finish with harmony and good persistence.

Recommended pairings

Carnasciale 2019 lends itself to pairings with well-structured dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts, braises, and preparations from Tuscan cuisine with a strong flavor. Excellent also with light game, aged cheeses, and recipes with mushrooms or flavorful sauces. Its setup makes it suitable for a refined table, where the wine must interact with the food without overpowering it, but with enough personality to leave a mark.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve Carnasciale 2019 is around 16-18°C. If stored in a cool environment or if you wish to enhance its balance, it may be useful to open it a little in advance before serving. This way, the wine has time to express its aromas, texture, and flavor nuances more clearly.
