Tenuta di Carleone

Tenuta di Carleone, founded in 2012 by Austrian entrepreneur Karl Egger, is a prestigious winery in the Chianti Classico region near Radda in Chianti, Tuscany. On 100 hectares, including 30 hectares of vineyards with predominantly old Sangiovese vines up to 700 metres above sea level, optimal conditions prevail for wines full of character.

Under the management of Sean O'Callaghan, an experienced English winemaker who has worked in Germany and Italy, the winery combines organic and biodynamic cultivation methods with innovative cellar technology. The use of wooden racks, cement tanks and long maceration times results in wines that optimally reflect the terroir.

The wines include the Chianti Classico, a pure Sangiovese with clear fruit and perfect balance; the Il Guercio, an intense Sangiovese with notes of figs and black cherry; and the Pianvecchio, a fresh white wine made from Vermentino and Riesling that picks up on international influences.

Tenuta di Carleone embodies the symbiosis of tradition and modernity, with a focus on quality and authenticity. The winery produces wines that express the terroir of Radda in a unique way.
