Il Carnasciale

Il Carnasciale

“Il Carnasciale’s Caberlot has emerged as one of Italy’s most distinctive and” highly-sought wines. With its cult status and tiny production, it is a wine many people have heard of, but few have actually tasted.” — Antonio Galloni

Il Carnasciale is situated in the southern Chianti mountains in the Valdarno di Sopra region of Tuscany.

In early 80s Wolf Rogosky tasted a wine from a unique vine, called L32. The L32 vine is a natural and inexplicable cross, found in an abandoned vineyard in the Euganean Hills, born from the union of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Wolf immediately baptized it ‘Caberlot’ and, in 1985, planted a clone among his olive groves. The first bottles born from this vine date back to 1988 and stand out for their uniqueness and their superfine characteristics.

Now Caberlot is cultivated exclusively at Podere Il Carnasciale, making them a self-proclaimed “haute couture” winery.
