Intense red colour with garnet hues. The broad and powerful nose reveals elegant notes of violets, forest berries, spices and tobacco. The well structured tannins resulting from a slow aging in oak, give it elegance, structure and the right smoothness. It's ideal for roasted red meats and game, braised beef and seasoned cheese.

Barco Reale is the youthful wine from the Carmignano area, made from Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Soft, full and fruity, it has lovely aromas of cherries and plums.
