The 2019 Il Caberlot (Sommeleria) is a powerful, intensely aromatic red from Il Carnasciale. Layers of flavor and texture build effortlessly, leading into a long, plush finish that is wonderfully inviting, even in the early going. Readers should note that the Sommeleria is not a new wine but the designation the estate has used for their 750ml bottling, mostly intended for restaurants, since 2013. 

The Il Carnasciale 2019 Il Caberlot shows good ripeness, concentration and aromatic intensity. Although this wine is normally sold in magnum, I tasted a smaller bottle called Sommelleria. The price you see here is for the magnum. The 2019 vintage offers beautiful weight and roundness of fruit that wraps smoothly over the palate. There is sweet cherry, black fruit, spice and grilled herb. Winemaking starts off in stainless steel, with careful punch-downs lasting from 20 to 30 days, depending on the harvest conditions. It does malolactic fermentation in barrique with stirring of the lees. This vintage shows a pretty acidic signature to close.

Fragrant nose of blueberries, violets, peppercorns, sage, five spice and lemon leaves. Medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Compact and firm. Lots of character, with perfumed tea-leaf notes at the end. Better from 2024.
