Description

Product description for Tenuta di Carleone Il Guercio IGT 2022

Information

“Il Guercio” is Sean O’Callaghan’s nickname. 100% Sangiovese from an old terraced vineyard just outside the hamlet of Lamole, 650 m above sea level. Late harvest, foot-treading, spontaneous fermentation, fermented in cement tanks and open wooden fermenters with 30% whole bunches for around four months. Then aged for 12 months in cement tanks.

Colour

Deep cherry red

Nose

Il Guercio 2022 is an intense wine. It smells very slightly raisined with notes of figs and ripe cherries, but by no means congealed. In addition to the ripe fruit, the Sangiovese appears rather fragrant with notes of garrigue, violets, and rose petals. Finally, there’s a hint of raspberry and spicy tobacco.

Palate

On the palate, the Sangiovese presents itself round and juicy. The fruit is intense and extremely charming thanks to the long fermentation, as are the ripe acidity and fine tannins. Everything is enveloping and mouth-filling, elegant and sensual like a Volnay produced in Chianti. The finish is again fragrant, round, fruity, and polished with a wonderful harmony. Modern yet timeless.
