Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
Sean O’Callaghan (a.k.a. Il Guercio or the ‘one-eyed rascal’) has been pushing the boundaries of Sangiovese in Tuscany for nearly three decades, achieving something of a cult status among winemakers and the international Press alike. His wines are delicate, at times even pretty and always expressive of absolute mastery and integrity. It’s Chianti Jim, but not as we know it. Expect fruit sweetness, ethereal aromas of rose and flowers and an almost Burgundian feel to this unique Chianti classico.
