Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a Chianti Classico that whispers the story of its land. This wine from Tenuta Di Carleone is not just a drink, it is an immersion into the very essence of Tuscany, an authentic expression of an exceptional terroir.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll beneath the sun, the Tenuta Di Carleone estate cultivates Sangiovese, the king grape variety of this prestigious appellation. It is in this blessed landscape that the 2022 vintage takes root, the fruit of an ideal climate and meticulous attention at every stage of its creation. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins, techniques that allow the quintessence of the fruit to be extracted.
From the moment you pour it, its color catches your eye. On the nose, I perceive bright red fruits, notably cherry and plum, interwoven with delicate floral notes and a subtle spicy touch. On the palate, this Chianti Classico reveals a medium body, beautifully supple tannins and a balanced structure. It stretches into a persistent finish, leaving an impression of refinement and character.
This Chianti Classico is an invitation to conviviality. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats, a flavorful game dish or aged cheeses that will converse with its complexity. Picture it alongside an authentic bistecca alla fiorentina or a comforting ribollita. It is the perfect wine for those moments when you wish not only to taste, but also to share a piece of authentic Tuscany.
