The wine region of Barco Reale di Carmignano
Tuscan DOC west of Florence (younger sibling of Carmignano DOCG released earlier, well-drained argilo-calcareous soils, Mediterranean climate tempered by Apennine influences, Medici heritage from the 16th-century Royal Reserve): Sangiovese is the Tuscan signature red (≥50%) — cherry and violet aromas with a fine tannic structure. Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon (10–20%) Bordeaux varieties, Canaiolo Nero (≤20%) traditional.
The wine region of Tuscany
Kingdom of Sangiovese: upright reds with cherry, plum, dried herbs and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins. Fleshy, food-friendly Chianti Classico DOCG, deep long-ageing Brunello di Montalcino (spice, tobacco, ripe black fruit), elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. On the coast, Bolgheri crafts the opulent Cabernet- and Merlot-based 'Super Tuscans'. Some fresh white Vernaccia.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
