Le Farnete Barco Reale di Carmignano DOC

Tenuta Cantagallo has been owned by the Pierazzuoli family since 1970 and covers 200 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods on the rolling Tuscan hills between Florence and Vinci. Their second property, Le Farnete Estate, is located in the town of Carmignano, near Firenze and it covers a surface of 100 acres in the Carmignano docg zone and it is of Pierazzuoli Family since 1990. This wine takes its name from the two-metre high, 52 km long wall (Barco Reale) that the Medici family erected in 1626 to delimit what could be defined as Italy’s first nature reserve. The Barco Reale was then considered by Cosimo III de’ Medici (in the Bando Granducale of 1716) as the boundary for the production of Carmignano wine. Barco Reale is always made from 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. For more info, visit Tenuta Cantagallo e Le Farnete website .
