Tenuta di Carleone Chianto Classico 2022
The 2022 vintage of Carleone Chianti Classico is a textbook example of Sean’s style: pure, lifted Sangiovese with elegance and energy. Fermentation was spontaneous with native yeasts, and aging took place in a mix of concrete and old oak, preserving the wine’s freshness and clarity. On the nose, aromas of wild cherry, dried rose petals, Tuscan herbs, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, it’s focused and refined, with bright acidity, silky tannins, and a savory finish. It’s the kind of wine that drinks beautifully now with decanting but has the bones to evolve for years. Pair it with grilled bistecca, wild boar ragù, or a simple pasta with tomato and herbs. It also shines with aged cheeses or roast poultry.
