Tasting notes
Usefully wet spring. Usefully dry, not that warm summer with good diurnal temperature variation. Very dark crimson, though not right out to the rim. Rich, ripe, sweet nose with excellent balance. Pretty marked acidity and youthful. On the palate it seems much less opulent than on the nose. But it's very clean. (JR)

The 2010 Carbonaione (Sangiovese) is a stunner. Deep, rich and utterly impeccable, the 2010 boasts breathtaking richness, energy and power. The flavors remain incredibly primary in a wine that will require years to develop. Graphite, crushed rocks, blue/black fruit, plums and smoke emerge over time. As phenomenal as the 2010 is today, it really should be cellared for at least a few years. This is a drop dead gorgeous wine from Vittorio and Jurij Fiore.
