From renowned winemaker Sean O'Callaghan this is an exceptional terrior driven Sangiovese Chianti Classico. The sloping hills of the region of Chianti, Tuscany. Carleone produces a wine of immense quality and finesse.
Tasting Note:
Such a beautiful expression of Radda Chianti, the happy union of a great site, a great winemaker and a great vintage. It’s not a deep, impenetrable colour, it’s almost translucent and comes across as quite delicate in character, as per the ‘house style’ at Tenuta di Carleone, but the tannins are like cashmere and the aromas and flavours are wonderfully authentic Sangiovese without being ostentatious. Don’t mistake it for a fragile Chianti, just because it isn’t impenetrably dark, it doesn’t want for concentration, it’s just light on its feet. 13.5% alc. Drink now-2032.
