The estate covers 84.5 hectares of dry-farmed vineyards among the rolling hills of the
Vino Nobile region of Tuscany. The vineyards are planted with a minimum of 70%
Sangiovese (known locally as Prugnolo Gentile), Canaiolo and international grape
varietals. These vineyards are trained according to modern trellising methods with
clones and rootstocks varying according to soil type. Planting densities here often
exceed 8,500 plants per hectare, yielding wines of great concentration and finesse
Established in Greve in Chianti in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families, Carpineto farms 500 hectares of sustainably farmed land, spread amongst five carbon neutral estates in the regions of Chianti Classico, Alto Valdarno, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino and Maremma. Carpineto holds the VIVA certification for sustainability, and is accredited ISO 14001 and IFS. Formerly IWSC Italian Wine Producer of the Year, Carpineto was also the first ever Italian winery to be awarded the IWSC International Winemaker of the Year. Antonio Zaccheo is now assisted by his son Antonio and daughter Francesca, who have both previously worked in the wine trade in the USA. Giovanni Sacchet's daughter, Caterina, joined the Carpineto winemaking team after finishing her viticulture and oenology degree. Carpineto produces exquisite wines with elegant typicity.
