Tenuta Carleone Il Guercio Igt Toscana 2021

The unlikely duo of Mr.Karl Egger, Austrain entrepreneur and Sean O'Callaghan, English enlightened winemaker driven by the goal of producing top quality wines with respect for the unique terroir of Radda, are now rising stars in the firmament of Italian wines, despite having started their fantastic journey only recently, in 2012. Five months of maceration on the skins with 50% of whole-bunch clusters and a 1-year aging in concrete (no oak!), are the techniques used to make this audacious wine: the result is a super intense Sangiovese, with notes of sour cherry under spirit, dried violet, chocolate-covered cherry, herbs, forest floor, balm. Otherworldly elegance in the palate with a subtle effusion of small red fruits such as red currant and pomegranate; fresh and savory, clean and precise, a wine of unique pleasantness, with a fine-grained tannin and a wonderful aftertaste of pomegranate, mushroom and Jasmine tea. 100% Sangiovese
