Tenuta di Carleone 'Uno' Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2020
“Uno” Toscana IGT, 2020 is a standout modern Tuscan red and the flagship wine of this dynamic Radda-based estate. Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Sean O’Callaghan, it is 100% Sangiovese sourced from the estate’s best parcels, fermented traditionally with long maceration and aged primarily in cement and stainless steel with a small touch of oak. The excellent 2020 vintage delivers vivid cherry, raspberry, rose petal, orange peel, spice, and crushed stone with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional energy. Pure, elegant, and beautifully expressive, this is a thrilling Tuscan red that captures the soul of high-altitude Chianti terroir with modern precision.
"Made with 100% Sangiovese, the Tenuta di Carleone 2020 Uno (in an elegant bottle with a white wax capsule) shows a spicy side with macerated aromas of cherry skin and dried fruit. Long skin contact and partial whole cluster are key to winemaking. Like the other wines in this portfolio, Uno (the "one" refers to the singularity of Sangiovese) is a wine of special character. Firm tannins are followed by a touch of bitter fruit. Production is 21,500 bottles, and fruit represents a selection from Radda in Chianti only." Wine Advocate 94
