Tasting Notes

Carandelle exudes elegance, grace and a great sense of inner purity. Dark cherry, pressed blackberry and cassis offer profound fruitiness. The bouquet opens slowly to reveal spice, tobacco and cardamom. The wine reaches an impressive level of balance. Carandelle shows tonic acidity and a great level of inner energy and vitality. This is a darkly extracted and soft interpretation of Sangiovese that should carry forward nicely over the coming years. - Robert Parker

Pairing

It is a perfect accompaniment for the richly-flavored dishes of the traditional Chianti cuisine, as well as for grilled meats and mature cheeses.

Maremma Toscana Sangiovese DOC “Carandelle” 2014 - Podere San Cristoforo: Why we like it

Environment-friendly viticulture, with low yields and a great deal of manual labour, forms the basis for this wine. All the vineyard and cellar operations are carried out according to the lunar calendar, and the grapes are left to ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts.
Carandelle is the quintessence of Sangiovese because it comes from the combination, in the same vineyard, of 6 different sub-varieties from the historic areas of Tuscany.
