Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2023

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2023 is a pure expression of Radda in Chianti and a focused take on one of Tuscany’s most celebrated vineyards. Made entirely from Sangiovese, it captures the character of Chianti Classico at its core, with a strong sense of place rooted in the historic boundaries of Chianti Storico.

Tasting Notes
Expect a vivid, youthful red with the classic clarity and lift that Sangiovese is known for. Aromatically, it leans toward red cherry, wild berry, dried herbs, and a subtle floral edge, while the palate should show fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a lively, mineral-tinged finish. This is a wine built for energy and precision rather than weight, making it particularly appealing in its youth. While already expressive now, it should also reward a few years in bottle as the savory and earthy notes deepen and the structure becomes more integrated.

Production
The wine comes from Tenuta di Carleone’s small corner of Radda in Chianti, within the heart of Chianti Classico and the original boundaries of Chianti Storico. The estate emphasizes site expression and variety purity, choosing to bottle a 100% Sangiovese that reflects the local terroir. Specific details on harvesting and vinification are not provided, but the focus is clearly on preserving freshness, authenticity, and the character of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
This Chianti Classico is a natural match for Tuscan-inspired dishes such as pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, and aged pecorino. Serve it slightly below room temperature, ideally around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant if enjoying it young to open up the aromatics and soften the structure.
