Notes from the producer:
"This wine is our expression of Tenuta di Carleone. A blend of 100% Sangiovese grapes and selected parcels of wine. We are pushing to make an elegant wine defined by the terroir that will age wonderfully. Selection of the best grapes from all the vineyards. Just one grape… Sangiovese. Made the way we like it. Essence of Radda in Chianti. Drink it or age it."
