Bright acids and floral overtones grace this exquisite, nuanced red. There's a good bit of whole clusters (40-50%), but stems aren't especially evident. The 2022 spent four months on the skins in cement and open top tanks. More than anything else, it's the freshness and purity here that stand out. What a gorgeous wine this is. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e- By Antonio Galloni on June 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e93 pts Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Tenuta di Carleone 2022 Il Randagio is a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc (with some whole-cluster fermentation) and comes in a screw-cap bottle with a drawing of a one-eyed bulldog on the front label that surely must be a Sean O'Callaghan alter ego. He dabbles in long maceration times and alternative cement vessels. There is a lot of creative spirit in a wine like this that reveals fresh berry tones that pop brightly. The style is full of energy. This is a well-priced red that I happily recommend, especially if you are looking for a casual but spirited expression. Some 30,000 bottles were made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tasting note (2021):\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant, red fruited, cherry, dusty floral, mineral. Lots of cherry on the palate, delicate, well-balanced, ripe, well-integrated tannins, salty finish. It offers a very authentic or individual quality with raw blackberry and cherry flavors. A blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. hand picked with some whole cluster bunches with a long maceration in cement tanks. spicy, elegant with frsh dark berries. There are whole bunches in this wine and cement tanks used; no barrels here.  This is the winemaker's answer to the \"Super Tuscan\" being that this style is fresh and vibrant, not overly extracted or alcoholic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend: \u003c\/strong\u003eCabernet Franc and Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e  in cement tanks, maceration 4 months, partial whole cluster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 months in cement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.
