"Dr Federico Carletti's 120 ha of vineyards, part of a 240 ha estate, has grown into a large holding but began in 1961 with only 22 ha. The famous oenologist Carlo Ferrini advises here and this juicy, stainless-steel fermented and aged chianti overflows with luscious, ripe, violet-scented plum and damson fruit. Perfect with tricky, highly spiced red meat dishes, including mildly barbecued meats."
