Aromas of sour cherry, red plum, and dried herbs lead the nose, layered with subtle floral and earthy notes. The palate is fresh and finely structured, with lively acidity, fine grained tannins, and flavors of red fruit and spice carrying through a long, balanced finish.

Tenuta di Carleone is located in Radda in Chianti, one of the highest and coolest areas of the Chianti Classico zone. Under the direction of Sean O’Callaghan, the estate focuses on expressing site through careful farming and minimal intervention in the cellar.

Produced primarily from Sangiovese, the 2022 Chianti Classico is fermented with native yeasts and aged with restraint to preserve freshness and transparency. The result is a refined Tuscan red that emphasizes energy, clarity, and balance rather than power, offering a compelling expression of Chianti Classico suited to both immediate enjoyment and short to mid-term aging.

Pairs well with pasta with tomato based sauces, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and classic Italian dishes. Its acidity makes it especially versatile at the table.

Serve at cellar temperature. Drink now or cellar short to mid term for added complexity.
