Tasting Notes

The Carpineto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2020 is an elegant and structured Tuscan red, showing a brilliant ruby colour with subtle garnet reflections. The nose is refined and layered, opening with ripe cherry and blackberry, followed by delicate violet notes, hints of balsamic, and well-integrated oak bringing touches of cedar, spice, and light toast. On the palate, it is dry and medium to full-bodied, with a velvety texture and fine, polished tannins balanced by fresh acidity. Flavours of red and dark fruits are complemented by savoury notes of earth, pepper, and a hint of coffee, adding depth and complexity. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering spice, mocha, and subtle oak, making this a harmonious and classic expression of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
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.

Carpineto - Winery Producing Incredible Chianti Wines.

The story of Carpineto winery began in 1967 by the joint efforts of Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo. The duo set a goal to make their Chianti Classico DOCG wines well-famous around the globe, and they did it. Over the years, they got numerous awards and recognitions by the wine critics for their flagship red wines. With the help of their families, Carlo and Mario kept the traditional winemaking methods alive, combined with innovative and state-of-the-art processes. Today, 95% of the wine production is red wines, along with the rest of the wines include luscious white, rose, dessert, and sparkling wines, all made under the Toscana IGT and Chianti DOCG statuses.

Italy's most ancient wine region, Tuscany may not be a heavyweight in terms of quantity, but as the home of two of the country's most famous fine wines – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino – it certainly holds its own in terms of quality. Tuscany's climate ranges from Mediterranean on the coast to continental deep in the Apennines. More than two thirds of the province is covered with hills, an important terroir factor in its fine wines.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG is located in the hilltop town of Montepulciano in southeastern Tuscany, Italy. The appellation was granted DOCG status in 1980, making it one of Italy's earliest designated wine regions of the highest classification. The vineyards surround the medieval town at elevations between 250 and 600 meters above sea level.

The region's continental climate features warm, dry summers and cold winters, moderated by altitude and the influence of nearby Lake Trasimeno. Soils are predominantly clay and limestone with sand and gravel deposits. Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, must comprise at least 70% of the blend, with Canaiolo Nero and other approved red varieties permitted. Traditional winemaking methods prevail, with extended maceration periods and aging requirements of two years minimum, including one year in wood for standard wines and three years total for Riserva bottlings.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines display the characteristic structure of Sangiovese with notable depth and complexity derived from the specific terroir. The wines typically show bright acidity, firm tannins, and flavors of red cherry, plum, and earth, often developing leather, tobacco, and spice notes with age. The altitude and soil composition contribute to wines with good aging potential and distinctive mineral undertones that differentiate them from other Tuscan Sangiovese expressions.
