Description
Podere Il Carnasciale is situated in the southern Chianti mountains in the Valdarno di Sopra region of Tuscany, thirty kilometers north of Siena and Arezzo and 60 kilometers south of Florence. True to original owner’s (Wolf Rogosky) vision, the secluded hilltop estate is run today by Bettina and her son Moritz Rogosky, in collaboration with the enologists and winemakers Peter Schilling and Marco Maffei. From the secluded hilltop estate of Podere Il Carnasciale, in the mountains of south eastern Chianti’s Valdarno region, this organically farmed Sangiovese is rooted in clay limestone soils. After a native ferment in stainless and concrete, this rested 14 months in stainless, and a few months in bottle prior to release.
Tasting Note :
On the glass reveals deep ruby with garnet edges and excellent clarity, showing youthful concentration and moderate viscosity. The nose is focused and expressive, with aromas of black cherry, red currant, and plum layered with graphite, dried herbs, violet, and subtle notes of cedar and spice. Medium- to full-bodied with polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Dark and red fruit flavors—blackberry, sour cherry, and cassis—are supported by savory herbal tones, mineral nuance, and restrained oak. The texture is firm yet elegant, emphasizing balance over power.
