Tenuta di Carleone - Chianti Classico 2023 750ml

About this gift

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2022 offers a stunning take on an Italian classic. Crafted in the high hills of Radda, this red wine focuses entirely on the pure beauty of the Sangiovese grape. The estate rescues old vines planted in limestone and sandstone soils. These deep roots grow between fifteen hundred and twenty five hundred feet above sea level. This high altitude farming creates a wine with incredible energy and freshness.

The winemaking team picks the grapes by hand in the early fall. In the cellar, they use a highly natural approach. They leave the juice on the grape skins for up to two months. They do not use any artificial yeasts or heavy oak barrels. Instead, the wine ferments and ages in cement tanks and stainless steel for eighteen months. This bold choice builds amazing depth while keeping the flavors bright and clear.

In the glass, the wine glows with a bright garnet color. The aroma is highly expressive, lifting beautiful notes of crushed flowers, fresh mint, and pine. On the palate, drinkers will find a weightless and elegant texture. It bursts with punchy flavors of tart red cherry and blue fruits, framed by light citrus tones.
