        • Wine Advocate: The Il Carnasciale 2017 Il Caberlot is a dark, extracted and savory expression. My sample was packaged in a regular 750-milliliter bottle and was marked with the word "Sommelleria" on the front label. Caberlot is an almost mythical varietal (that borrows from Cabernet Franc and Merlot) that in this vintage delivers aromas that strongly recall Cabernet Franc. The Merlot component is less evident, especially considering the very hot and dry 2017 growing season. Despite the robust and intense character of the bouquet, where dried blackberry, plum, spice and cedar smoke abound, the wine is more streamlined and lean than expected. This is true of many wines from this vintage. That vintage intensity has been intentionally reined back in an effort to achieve more balanced results. There are pretty dusty shadings on the finish.

        Producer Information

        Podere Il Carnasciale (also known as Caberlot) is a cult estate in Valdarno, Tuscany. The winery is famous for being the only producer in the world of Caberlot, a crossing of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, grown exclusively at the estate. As Caberlot is not a recognised Tuscan variety, the wines are designated as IGT Toscana. The estate was established by Wolf and Bettina Rogosky. The couple had met the agronomist Remigio Bordini in the 1980s, who had discovered the Caberlot crossing in an abandoned vineyard near Padua in the 1960s. The crossing was thought to have occurred naturally, showing characteristics of both varieties, leading Bordini to call it Caberlot – although no DNA testing has ever been done. Bordini agreed to allow the Rogoskys to plant it on their Tuscan property, above the Arno river, and be the first to vinify it. The couple initially had trouble planting a vineyard, as they couldn't secure a permit to remove the existing olive trees on their property. Only after a severe frost in 1985 cleared a small parcel were they able to plant vines, resulting in a tiny vineyard less than a third of a hectare (0.7 acres), named Il Carnasciale. The vineyard was tended entirely organically and by hand with the inaugural vintage produced in 1988.
