Caberlot is one of the most mysterious and rare grape varieties in the world, grown exclusively in the Tuscany region of Italy. This unique variety is the natural result of a cross between Cabernet Franc and Merlot, combining the best qualities of two iconic Bordeaux grapes: elegance, structure, and refined fruit purity. Interestingly, the identity of this grape was kept secret for a long time – and even today it is cultivated on only a few hectares by a single estate, Il Carnasciale, which holds the exclusive right to grow it and to bottle the wine under the name “Il Caberlot.”
Read moreWines made from Caberlot are known for their deep ruby color, complex aromatic profile, and exceptional longevity. Their aromas often reveal notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, herbs, cedar, graphite, and chocolate. These are medium- to full-bodied wines with excellent structure, elegant tannins, and remarkable aging potential. Production is extremely limited: the wines are most commonly bottled in magnum format, and each release is marked by hand. Because of this rarity and craftsmanship, Il Caberlot has become a cult wine among collectors and sommeliers worldwide. It represents not only a fascinating genetic anomaly, but also a genuine example of Italian winemaking mastery.
