This is “Guercino”, a littler Guercio.  Same winemaking, though instead of Sangiovese, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot.  Handpicked with some whole cluster bunches with a long maceration in cement tanks.  Spicy, elegant with fresh dark berries. This turns the idea of “Super Tuscan” upside down.

Blend: Cabernet Franc and Merlot
Fermentation:  in cement tanks, maceration 4 months, partial whole cluster
Aging: 12 months in cement

The 2023 for comaprison: 93 pts Vinous
( I expect the 2024 to be fresher and spicer than the 2023)
Drinking Window 2025 - 2031
The 2023 Il Randagio, Carleone's red blend, is fresh, fruity and delicious. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, mint and sweet red cherry all grace this mid-weight, fun red. Soft contours and silky tannins wrap it all up nicely. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2025
