Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2024

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2024 is an organic, Sangiovese-led red that captures the freshness and distinctive character of Radda in Chianti. Made with hands-on, low-intervention methods, it offers an elegant expression of a region with a long tradition of Sangiovese winemaking.

Tasting Notes
Bright and fragrant, it opens with rose petal, cherry and raspberry, followed by herbal notes of rosemary and thyme and a subtle hint of leather. On the palate, it is light and poised, with lively acidity, a distinct mineral edge and a lingering, dry finish. Its freshness makes it approachable while young; a few years in the cellar should allow the flavours and structure to develop further. The precise aging potential of the 2024 vintage is not specified.

Production
The grapes come from the hills around Radda in Chianti, where varied terrain and distinctive soils contribute freshness and a strong sense of place. The estate follows organic and sustainable practices, and some of its vines are more than 60 years old. Grapes are harvested by hand, with whole bunches and traditional foot-treading used in the artisanal approach. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts takes place in stainless steel, concrete and open vats, followed by a long maceration of 40–60 days. After microfiltration, the wine matures for 18 months in concrete, steel and used barrels. It is also described as suitable for a vegan diet.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C, with a brief decant of about 30 minutes if drinking young. Its bright acidity and savoury character suit vegetarian dishes, aged cheeses and game, as well as a refined monkfish ragù.
