Winemaking
The philosophy of Tenuta di Carleone is expressed in the perfect way with "UNO". A hand-picked selection of the best Sangiovese grapes from all vineyards. After traditional mash fermentation in cement tanks, maceration occurs between 40 and 60 days. The product is then matured for 18 months in cement and stainless steel tanks, 10% of which in new 500 litre tonneau barrels.
Our tasting note
Vibrant, bright ruby red colour. Open on the nose with notes of raspberry, violets and light spices. On the palate, a perfect symbiosis between silky tannin and inviting fruit. Elegant and yet robust. Wonderful flow with deep finish. A great Sangiovese!
