Il Randagio 2024 Toscana IGT Carleone

A red blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot from Tenuta di Carleone, an estate in Radda in Chianti, bottled as a Toscana IGT. The vines are farmed organically and the grapes are picked by hand. Fermentation is spontaneous, with whole bunches, and the wine spends 12 months in cement before bottling without fining or filtration. It is juicy and versatile, an alternative take on this noble terroir. The nose shows blackberries, plums and dark fruits, with touches of green pepper, spice and black pepper. The palate is juicy, fresh and smooth, with pleasant, well-integrated tannin.
