Unmistakable interpretation of the Chianti Classico: sparkling ruby colour with a pronounced garnet hue. Very inviting aroma of cherries and delicate meadow herbs, with a nutty touch. Medium-bodied on the palate, again wonderfully juicy fruit, cool, mineral style, very finely structured and balanced, with lively animo, lingers quite long and makes you want the next glass. The perfect accompaniment to Italian dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Healthy medium ruby red colour. Complex, balsamic cherry nose, somewhat rich and with a slight hint of cardamom. Beautiful, juicy palate with a core of cherry fruit and polished, chewy tannins that linger on the finish. Great precision." Jancis Robinson

"Roasted spices, smoky cedar wood, walnuts and ripe red and dark berries on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, structured and chewy with firm tannins and juicy acidity. Long and velvety." James Suckling

"The Chianti Classico 2021, 100% Sangiovese from Radda, is magnificent. Aromatic and clearly defined, with incredible energy, the 2021 floats out of the glass. Dark cherry fruit, lavender, spices, liquorice and new leather come to life in the glass. Maturation took place in various vessels with the aim of increasing the complexity of the final blend. It is an exceptional wine in every way." Vinous

"With fruit blended from various sites, this is a classical expression of Sangiovese that offers a good amount of varietal character along the way. That's all you can ask for from a wine like the Tenuta di Carleone 2021 Chianti Classico. What's more, you get the pleasure of drinking a rather funky (I mean that in the "cool" sense) interpretation from one of Italy's storied winemaking regions. The wine aged in stainless steel, cement and neutral oak, and the quality of the fruit is extremely bright with lots of red berry fruit and plump cherry. There are delicate notes of crushed rock and rosemary oil, like when you brush your hand over the plant. I love that tart acidity on the finish." Wine Advocate

"The 2021 is another beautiful wine: it combines floral scents of rose and lilac with savoury herbs and summer berries. On the palate, the plump cherries drip with juiciness. Then chalky tannins assert themselves, allowing the wine to finish with a savoury length. Very satisfying." Decanter
