Details and technical informations about Winery Berryessa Gap's Barbera.
Discover the grape variety: Caberlot
Structured, elegant, age-worthy reds with a deep purple colour, firm tannins and an ample palate showing complex aromas of black fruits (cassis, blackberry), spices, balsamic notes and toasty nuances from ageing. A coveted, confidential cult wine. Grown almost exclusively by the Rogosky family in Tuscany (Podere Il Carnasciale) for a mythical single-estate cuvée. A rare Italian variety, a spontaneous cross of Cabernet Franc × Merlot discovered in Tuscany in the 1960s.
