Carpineto Brunello di Montalcino 2013 was aged for 36 months in Slovenian oak barrels followed by at least 6 months in bottle prior to release. A mature Brunello with a complex bouquet of spice, hints of vanilla, deep red cherries and a touch of raspberry. An elegant style with traditional flavours of savoury roasted meat and leather combine with a warm and smooth finish.
Founded in 1967, Carpineto is a partnership between Giovanni C. Sacchet and Antonio M. Zaccheo, whose mission was to produce a world-class red wine from the Chianti Classico appellation. This was a radical departure from the marketplace of the time when most Chianti was still produced in a very old-fashioned, and often unreliable, way.
