Description
Discover the exceptional Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano 2022, a fine example of Tuscany’s rich winemaking heritage. This bone dry red wine showcases a harmonious blend of 75% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Canaiolo, all sourced from Younger Vines in the picturesque Carmignano region, which are nurtured in clay schist and limestone soils.
Pleasing to the senses, Barco Reale captivates with its:
- Vibrant Bouquet: A medley of fresh red berries intertwined with earthy notes and delicate floral whispers.
- Palate Profile: Medium-weight with polished silkiness, unfolding flavors of bright cherry and red berries layered with subtle herbs, framed by gentle tannins.
- Lingering Finish: Smooth warmth with ripe dark cherry and hints of toasted oak, offering a refined embrace that entices another sip.
This vintage is not only remarkable due to its flavor profile but also its food-friendly nature. Ideal serving suggestions include:
- Enjoy cooled just below room temperature (16-18°C) in large balloon glasses to enhance its aroma and texture.
- Pair with an elegant charcuterie board adorned with aged pecorino, artisan salami, and roasted walnuts for an authentic Tuscan treat.
- Complement with a rich wild mushroom risotto, finished with a drizzle of truffle oil to enhance the wine's earthy undertones.
- For an innovative twist, serve chilled (12-14°C) alongside grilled summer peaches and fresh burrata, accented with cracked black pepper and mint.
- Utilize in a red wine reduction glaze for slow-roasted rosemary lamb shanks, presented beautifully on rustic wooden platters.
- Delight guests at garden parties with bold tomato and roasted red pepper bruschetta topped with smoked mozzarella.
- Craft a refreshing aperitif by mixing the wine with sparkling water, a twist of orange peel, and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
- Perfect for celebrations, paired with bittersweet dark chocolate truffles dusted with chili powder for an unexpected kick.
Store the wine properly to preserve its quality and allow gradual aging if desired. Ideal conditions include a temperature range between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) in a dark place to minimize light exposure.
Whether it's a special occasion or a quiet evening at home, Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano 2022 promises to elevate your wine experience, providing enjoyment for both novice and seasoned wine enthusiasts alike.

Storage advice
For storing red wine maintain an optimal temperature range between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) ideally close to 55°F for long-term preservation. Avoid temperatures above 70°F or below 45°F as extreme fluctuations can prematurely age or damage the wine.
Store the bottle in a dark place to minimize light exposure especially avoiding direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting since UV rays can degrade the wine's aroma and flavor compounds.
Maintain a humidity level between 50% and 70% to keep the cork from drying out and shrinking which would allow air ingress and spoil the wine. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed to regulate humidity and prevent label damage or mold growth.
Keep the bottle in a horizontal position to ensure the wine stays in contact with the cork preserving its moisture and sealing properties.
For unopened bottles keep the above conditions stable to preserve quality and allow gradual aging if desired. For opened bottles re-cork tightly and store in a cool place—preferably refrigerated at around 40°F to slow oxidation—even though this is colder than optimal storage it helps preserve opened red wine for a few days. Before serving opened wine stored cold allow it to warm to serving temperature (60–65°F).
Avoid vibration and temperature fluctuations as much as possible to protect wine integrity over time.
No additional special storage instructions unique to this red wine type beyond these standard red wine preservation practices are needed.
