Tasting notes
With its elegant white wax capsule, the Tenuta di Carleone 2022 Il Guercio is partially made with feet-stomped Sangiovese (and up to 50% whole-cluster fruit) sourced from the village of Lamole, with its verdant vineyard landscapes and high elevations. This IGT red is balanced and bright with a lean consistency. The fruit tones are presented with good intensity and layered nuance. You get some of the bitter flavors from the skins (from extended maceration), red apple, wild herb, blue flower and crushed stone. Some 15,000 bottles were created.

The 2022 Il Guercio is an intense wine. Soaring aromatics and bright fruit open first. There is a feeling of unrestrained wildness here that is impossible to miss, especially compared to the 2021. This edition offers greater textural density but is also a bit disjointed today. Let's see if it comes together more fully with time in bottle.
The 2022 Il Guercio is laced with hints of wild cherry, kirsch, dried flowers, mint and white pepper. High-toned aromatics remind me of Gianfranco Soldera's Brunellos. This ethereal, gracious pure Sangiovese needs time in bottle to come together. It is undeniably attractive.
