Barco Reale is a younger version of Carmignano that received DOC status in 1994.

A vivid burst of raspberries mixes with cedar shavings and dusty rose to form a genuinely captivating bouquet as the 2020 Barco Reale opens in the glass. This is soft and round in feel, with bright acids that energize its tart wild berries fruits. 2020 finishes lightly structured, leaving behind a slightly bitter twang of citrus and savory herbs.

The 2020 Trebbiano is airy and delicate in the glass; fresh mint complements kiwi and peach skin notes. It's soft and pliant in feel with a balanced inner sweetness, showing ripe pit fruits under an air of sweet inner florals. A salty flourish lingers through the finale as the 2020 tapers off with subtle tension and sour citrus hints.
