Description
Tenuta di Carleone UNO 2021
Tenuta di Carleone UNO 2021 is a wine of excellence, which celebrates the 30th harvest of Sean O’Callaghan, a visionary winemaker known for his deep connection with Sangiovese and for his ability to express the authenticity of the Radda in Chianti area . This wine is produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes, coming from vineyards located between 400 and 600 meters above sea level, on soils rich in marl and alberese, typical of the Chianti Classico.
The grapes, harvested manually, undergo spontaneous fermentation in steel and open vats, with a long maceration on the skins that varies between 40 and 60 days. Subsequently, the wine matures for 18 months, combining tradition and innovation: 10% of the wine ages in new French oak tonneaux, while the remaining 90% rests in concrete and steel containers, preserving the freshness and expressiveness of the Sangiovese.
The result is a wine with an intense ruby red color, with brilliant reflections that enhance its liveliness. The nose opens with aromas of cherry, blackberry and violet, accompanied by subtle spicy notes of black pepper. On the palate it stands out for its elegance, with fine and well-integrated tannins, lively acidity and a long and savory finish, which make it a refined example of Sangiovese di Radda.
