Note di degustazione
Impenetrable dark ruby. Aromatic oak notes over minerally raspberry fruit. Has a certain coolness about it. Sleek raspberry fruit with lots of juice and with fine, sandy tannins. Beautiful structure and balance. (WS)

The 2020 Caberlot is a delicate, understated wine in relative terms. Structurally, the 2020 feels a bit soft, most likely because of rain during harvest. Inviting aromatics and mid-weight structure are the calling cards. Bright, red-toned fruit, rose petals, mint, dried herbs, incense and blood orange are nicely delineated. In 2020, Caberlot is quite understated. I find it one of the quietest, hushed Caberlots I can remember tasting. This will drink well with minimal cellaring.
The retail price you see here is for the magnum, or the format this wine is normally sold in. However, this review is based on the 750-milliliter bottle that is called "Sommelleria" because it is used in restaurants. Il Carnasciale's 2020 Il Caberlot is a 100% expression of the Caberlot grape that is featured at this estate only. It is reported to be a single grape variety that represents a cross of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This edition shows green peppery aromas, and the mouthfeel is a leaner, maybe because of rain during harvest. It shows powdery tannins with end notes of spice, sage and dark fruit. Some 3,900 magnums were released.
