Note di degustazione
Rainy, muddy late spring hampered treatments in the vineyard so this was a reduced crop. September was fine. Dark crimson. Not especially expressive on the nose. Lots of acidity and some pretty assertive tannins that are not as ripe as those in the 2007. A little austere at the moment. (JR)

The 2008 Il Carbonaione shows gorgeous depth, precision and nuance, all of which are quite rare in 2008. Layers of smoke, tar, licorice and beautifully integrated French oak wrap around the deep fruit in its superb, articulated Il Carbonaione. Firm yet elegant tannins support the finish. I will not be suprised if the 2008 merits a higher score in a few years' time. Il Carbonaione is 100% Sangiovese from an ancient clone native to this part of Chianti Classico called Lamole. The wine is aged in 350 liter French oak barrels, 50% of which are new. As it ages, Il Carbonaione often acquires notes of cedar, spices and sweet herbs that at times recall right-bank Bordeaux.
