Note di degustazione
The 2021 Il Guercio is 100% Sangiovese from Lamole. Vinification and aging in cement yielded an especially stark but expressive wine that is so distinctive. Crushed flowers, spice, lavender, mint and orange peel are all beautifully lifted. A touch of stems adds aromatic breadth, but they aren’t especially evident.

Named after a Tuscan word for "one-eyed rascal," the Tenuta di Carleone 2021 Il Guercio (in a bottle with a white wax capsule) is all Sangiovese with up to 40% whole cluster and as a much as five months of extended maceration in cement vats only. The wine delivers a very clear and variety-faithful expression with bright plum, wild cherry and iris root. You can taste the artisanal approach of this pretty wine. There are dusty limestone sensations that add to a cooling finish. Fruit comes from high-elevation vineyards at 650 meters in elevation in Lamole. Production is 16,000 bottles, and I'm pleased to recommend this very special wine.
The 2021 Il Guercio is all class. Bright, silky and beautifully perfumed, the 2021 possesses tons of finesse. Sweet red Sangiovese fruit opens first, followed by a burst of exotic floral and spice notes that lend character. There's real substance and presence here. Racy and yet light on its feet, Il Guercio is stellar in 2021.
