Barco Reale di Carmignano Organic Tuscan Red Wine

Tenuta di Capezzana - Barco Reale di Carmignano

In 1716, the Granduca Cosimo III de 'Medici issued the first law, "Above the Declaration of the Borders of the Four Regions Chianti, Pomino, Carmignano and Valdarno Superiore", which established the boundaries of wine production, thus defining the territory in how to produce the wines to obtain the corresponding denomination. In fact, it anticipates the current DOC and DOCG, in order to safeguard wine-growing areas already known at Etruscan times.
