CARPINETO VINO NOBILE DI MONTELPULCIANO RISERVA 2019

In Tuscany's historic Renaissance town of Montepulciano, visionaries Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo established Carpineto in 1967, revolutionizing winemaking by blending tradition with innovation. Their sustainable approach to viticulture honors the unique terroir—characterized by clay, limestone, and marine fossil deposits—that distinguishes this prestigious DOCG region from the Montepulciano grape variety grown in Abruzzo. This exceptional Riserva, crafted exclusively from estate-grown Sangiovese (locally called Prugnolo Gentile), undergoes careful aging in Slavonian and French oak for nearly two years. The resulting wine presents an ethereal bouquet of violet and toasted oak, with bold fruit flavors wrapped in a velvety texture and remarkable depth—a true expression of Montepulciano's aristocratic winemaking heritage.
