Le Miccine Carduus Toscana IGT 2018

13% abv

Vol- 75cl

The Carduus is 100% Merlot (prior to Paula owning the estate this fruit made its way into the Chianti). Only three barrels are made using French oak (225l & 350l, 1st-3rd passage) for the aging. One of the barrels is the excpetionally rare Taransaud T5. (T5 refers to the fact that the staves are dried for 5 years as opposed to normal 2-3 – gives great finesse and length to the wine). It is big and bold and has subsumed all the oak over its 24 months affinamento into its spicy, plummy & dense bouquet. Named after the Latin word for thistle to reflect Paula’s part-Scottish heritage this is a SuperTuscan without the super price tag.

The Le Miccine estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region between the towns of Radda and Gaiole. The 7 hectares of vineyards are farmed organically and owner/winemaker Paula is equally exacting in her management of all facets of the winery and business. These are real, hand-crafted, artisanal wines from hillside vineyards in one of the most sought after Classico sub zones. Terroir here is light and the altitude contributes to the cool micro-climate that is essential in producing mature, ripe Sangiovese. Her aim is to produce wines representing the traditional Tuscan varieties in isolation.
