Tasting notes
Scorched earth, underbrush and a whiff of blue flower form the subtle nose. The rather light-bodied, accessible palate offers fleshy black cherry and star anise alongside dusty tannins before closing on a black olive note.

About this wine
Carpineto is a renowned producer of high-quality wines in Tuscany, Italy. Their Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is a standout example of their commitment to excellence in winemaking. The history of Carpineto dates back to the late 19th century, when Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo founded the company in the Chianti Classico region. Over the years, Carpineto has expanded its vineyards to include other areas of Tuscany, including Montepulciano.
The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Montepulciano region. The grapes are carefully selected and hand-harvested, then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for at least two years in oak barrels before being bottled.
The result is a complex and elegant wine with a deep ruby color and aromas of black cherry, plum, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. This wine is an excellent choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.
Overall, Carpineto's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is a testament to the company's dedication to producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of Tuscany. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or simply looking for a delicious bottle to enjoy with friends, this wine is sure to impress.
