Il Carnasciale Ottantadue 2018
Tuscany, ItalyFrom the secluded hilltop estate of Podere Il Carnasciale, in the mountains of south eastern Chianti’s Valdarno region, this organically farmed sangiovese is rooted in clay limestone soils. After a native ferment in stainless and concrete, this rested 14 months in stainless, and a few months in bottle prior to release. After a short wave of youthful reduction blows past, this streams fragrant black cherries, wild raspberries, rose petals and hints of scrubby dried rosemary and thyme. Tannins are long and fine, and acidity is easily lofted, carrying this to a lightly spiced finish. Fresher than anticipated for 14%, this is a very pure version of sangiovese.Tasted: 19 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $43.95 | 750ml | consignment |
