It was named after the historic Medici property known as "Barco Reale" - Royal Property - established in 1626. Today Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Canaiolo grow in this ancient area, a hunting preserve surrounded by walls over 30 miles long. Barco Reale is a younger version of Carmignano that received DOC status in 1994.

Sangiovese 75%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%, Canaiolo 5%, Cabernet Franc 5%

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.
