“The 2020 is exquisite.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

There’s not a hair out of place on this supremely elegant Sangiovese, which is made from the very best parcels on Tenuta di Carleone’s estate and is the ultimate expression of their terroir in Radda in Chianti. Its pale colour is a statement in itself, announcing it as an ephemeral expression of the grape and the aromas are extremely delicate, fragile even, flirting with sweet spice, damson and flowers, an exercise in aromatic seduction that will fluster even the most stubborn hearts. It’s a wonderfully refined take on Sangiovese with tannins seemingly woven from cashmere and a light concentration of cherries and scented plums that is almost weightless in the mouth. Drink now-2034.

Press review:

Vinous: “The 2020 Uno (Sangiovese) is elegant, delicate and nuanced. Crushed flowers, sweet red-toned fruit, spice, mint and orange peel are all beautifully delineated in this understated, classy Sangiovese. The 2020 is exquisite. It shows the smaller-scaled size of the year vis-à-vis the 2021. Fine-grained tannins round things out in style. This is a lovely choice for drinking now and over the near to medium term. Drink now-2035.” 93 points

The Wine Advocate: “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. Drink now-2035.” 94 points
