The 2021 Chianti Classico, 100% Sangiovese from Radda, is sublime. Aromatic and delineated, with terrific energy, the 2021 soars out of the glass. Dark cherry fruit, lavender, spice, licorice and new leather all come alive in the glass. The 2021 spent two to three months on the skins, with about 40% whole clusters. Aging was done in a combination of vessels with the goal of building complexity in the final blend. It is an exceptional wine in every way.- By Antonio Galloni on June 2024 - By Antonio Galloni on June 2024

With fruit blended from various sites, this is a classical expression of Sangiovese that offers a good amount of varietal character along the way. That's all you can ask for from a wine like the Tenuta di Carleone 2021 Chianti Classico. What's more, you get the pleasure of drinking a rather funky (I mean that in the "cool" sense) interpretation from one of Italy's storied winemaking regions. The wine aged in stainless steel, cement and neutral oak, and the quality of the fruit is extremely bright with lots of red berry fruit and plump cherry. There are delicate notes of crushed rock and rosemary oil, like when you brush your hand over the plant. I love that tart acidity on the finish.
100% Sangiovese
Winemaking: No commercial yeasts or additives are used during winemaking and they eschew any fining or filtration. 100% Sangiovese, long maceration of 45-60 days, and the use of cement highlight Sean's style. His wines represent a more modern side of Chianti that has earned him the respect of even the most traditional of critics in Italy
Our Tasting Note: Medium to deep ruby, vibrant red edges. A beautiful perfume, the nose rose easily with red cherry, violets, licorice, an savory edge of dark leather. The palate was elegant and refined, classic Radda but with a very refined mouthfeel on the elegant med/med+ grain tannins. Long, persistent finish. Outstanding!
