The Story
Camarcanda is the estate's flagship wine made only in exceptional years and in tiny quantities from vineyards located on the coveted 'terre bianche' soils, which produce long lived mythical wines. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%), the two varieties are fermented and macerated separately. After 12 months of ageing in oak and further 6 months in concrete vessels, they are blended and aged for several months in the bottle before being released. The typical nature of white soil and the abundance of stones are essential to give the wine a solid and complex structure.
