PRACTICING ORGANIC/BIODYNAMIC FARMING
100% Sangiovese
WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - "With its elegant white wax capsule, the Tenuta di Carleone 2022 Il Guercio is partially made with foot-stomped Sangiovese (and up to 50% whole-cluster fruit) sourced from the village of Lamole, with its verdant vineyard landscapes and high elevations. This IGT red is balanced and bright with a lean consistency. The fruit tones are presented with good intensity and layered nuance. You get some of the bitter flavors from the skins (from extended maceration), red apple, wild herb, blue flower and crushed stone. Some 15,000 bottles were created."
"In 2022 Il Guercio was entirely made from a single vineyard in Lamole. Foot-trodden, then fermented with native yeasts in cement vats, with 50% whole clusters. 4 months of maceration bring the fruit profile to a whole different dimension. Aged in cement for 12 months. 'Il Guercio' is a defining wine for Sean O’Callaghan, his very own interpretation of this quintessential Tuscan grape. Stunningly delicious, with layers of juicy fruit seamlessly woven together by a mineral note of crushed stones."
