Dry, Medium Bodied style of Varietals
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of VarietalsCarpineto’s Montalcino estate is one of the highest in the appellation at an altitude of 450 meters (1,350 ft) above sea level. The sedimentary soil has a galestro frame with clay accumulations dating to the Eocene era (15 million years ago). The slightly northern exposure of the vineyards, surrounded by thick woods which protect the vineyard from the warm and humid westerly winds that come up from the Maremma, confers the wine flavours of wild berries and mediterranean herbs. The unique microclimate gives wines with intense bouquets, vibrant acidities, fine elegance and great longevity.

Vintage 2014

We renewed our association with this wine with the 2013 vintage, and it sold through very quickly in many of our stores. So, on to the 2014 vintage - again, a wine, we believe, which represents outstanding value in a world where good Brunellos fetch way over $100. We enjoyed the '14's mellow, autumnal feel, the chestnut oak, pan reduction, brambly mulchiness, the tawny hue, fine grained tannins, fruit compote and roast game meat flavours. This is the genuine article bringing to mind the warm comfort of an open fire on a cold day.
