The winery Tenuta di Carleone was born in 2012. Sean
O’Callaghan, to his friends “IL GUERCIO” (one eyed rascal!),
was asked to join and help to build a small artisinal winery
making classically defined Sangiovese with a twist.
Sean’s twist..
Organic and biodynamic principles are implemented in the
vineyard. Nothing is added to the wines, the grappa or the olive
oil. No yeast and no fining agents are used.
OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE HONEST
AND LOVEABLE PRODUCTS.

Vermentino- Riesling
White wine
Missing my white making days in the Nahe, Germany many years ago,
we decided to blend some Riesling and Vermentino from our Pianvecchio
vineyard with some of the Malvasia and Trebbiano from our old plantings.
This wine is handpicked and cold fermented with natural yeast. A tiny
portion aged in a new oak barrel gives this fresh, fruit driven, mineral
white wine a wonderful complexity and depth.

Sangiovese
Red wine
Something different. 100% Sangiovese from a vineyard in Gaiole
in Chianti, 700 m above sea level. The grapes are picked late to get
maximum ripeness from this beautiful high-lying vineyard. Fermented
in cement tanks with 20% whole bunches. The very long maceration
of 5 months gives this wine a wonderful fruit character, which
differentiates it from the more classic styles.
