Il Carnasciale
From 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 youthful puff of reduction blows off, this savoury red moves into black cherry, wild raspberry, crushed stones, with cracked pepper, mustard seed, and scrubby herbs. Ample grippy tannins take this through the lingering finish.
"The 2022 Ottantadue (Sangiovese) is gorgeous. Bright, floral and super-expressive, the Ottantadue shows the fresher side of Sangiovese. A dollop of whole clusters (20%) works so well here. The inspiration is clearly Beaujolais. Although an unusual wine, the Ottantadue is an absolute delight. The Ottantadue is fermented in cement and aged in steel, an approach that exalts fruit and freshness. This is such a beautiful wine. Drink 2024-2028.” - 92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
