Tasting notes
First produced in 2015, this is perhaps the best release of this wine made so far. Production was skipped in 2020. The Il Carnasciale 2019 Valdarno di Sopra Sangiovese Ottantadue is an unoaked expression of the Tuscan grape that only sees cement and stainless steel (and partial whole-cluster fermentation). This wine reveals sweet cherry fruit, blue flower and very fine, dusty earth that frames the sweeter side of the wine.

The 2019 Ottantadue, 100% Sangiovese, is bright, effusive and full of personality. It offers up a beguiling mix of sweet red berry fruit, pipe tobacco, incense, mint and dried flowers. Medium in body, yet wonderfully deep, the Ottantadue shows how compelling Sangiovese can be here, in Val d'Arno di Sopra.
