WINE MAKING PROCESS
Uno is crafted using 100% Sangiovese grapes from Tenuta di Carleone's vineyards. The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention, with fermentation occurring in cement and open-top vats, followed by an extended maceration period of 40-60 days. A signature technique involves the use of whole grapes, including stems, in about 30-40% of the fermentation. The wine is aged for 18 months, with a small fraction in new tonneaux and the remainder in cement and stainless steel. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural character and integrity.
