Tenuta di Carleone "Uno" Toscana IGT 2019
Uno is the signature Sangiovese from Tenuta di Carleone, a boutique estate nestled in the hills of Radda in Chianti. Founded by Karl Egger and led by the renowned winemaker Sean O’Callaghan, the estate has gained recognition for its innovative, yet deeply traditional, approach to Sangiovese. Sean, often called “Il Guercio” (the one-eyed rascal), has been pushing the boundaries of Tuscan winemaking for decades, focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
Uno is a powerful yet refined example of this philosophy, made from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes grown on the estate’s highest-altitude plots. The wine is vinified with indigenous yeasts, aged in a combination of concrete and large oak barrels, allowing the true character of the fruit to shine. Expect aromas of wild cherries, violets, and earthy notes, underpinned by bright acidity and fine, polished tannins.
‘Uno’ embodies the soul of Tenuta di Carleone—a marriage of tradition and modernity, yielding a wine that is both approachable and complex, making it a standout expression of Chianti.
