Il Carbonaione

2001 Alta Valle Della Greve Red Blend

An Eliot Thomas Selection Il Carbonaione is a striking red blend from the prestigious Alta Valle Della Greve region, known for its exceptional quality and charming landscapes. The 2001 vintage reveals a beautifully deep ruby color that captures the eye and invites exploration. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and boasts a harmonious balance of high acidity and notable tannins, providing a vibrant and structured mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring delicious notes of dark cherries, plums, and hints of ripe blackcurrants, all beautifully integrated with layers of spice and subtle earthy undertones. This exceptional wine is dry, making it wonderfully food-friendly, ideal for pairing with rich pasta dishes or savory roasted meats, and it showcases the craftsmanship and richness of the terroir in every sip.
