| Winery | Carpineto's Montalcino estate is one of the highest in the appellation at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, with 10 hectares of vineyard planted to Sangiovese Grosso on a dry-farmed hillside. Planted at a density of 2.20 x 0.90 meters, equivalent to over 5,000 vines per hectare, the vines are trained on a unilateral cordon system. The sedimentary soil has a galestro frame with clay accumulations dating to the Eocene era, some 15 million years ago. With a slightly northern exposure, the vineyard is surrounded by thick woods, which protect it from the warm and humid westerly winds that come up from the Maremma. |
