Carpineto Farnito Vinsanto del Chianti 2006 is a remarkable dessert wine from Tuscany, renowned for its depth, richness, and harmonious balance. The wine is a beautiful golden colour, with enticing bronze hues that give it a sense of elegance and refinement.
On the nose, this Vinsanto exudes a complex bouquet of aromas, with prominent notes of apricot and peach jam, delicately entwined with hints of walnut. These fragrances are complemented by subtle balsamic undertones, adding further layers of complexity.
The palate is equally impressive, showing a concentrated mouthfeel that reflects the wine's ageing process. The interplay of alcohol and sweetness is impeccably balanced, creating a smooth and silky texture that envelops the taste buds. The fruit flavours are enhanced by balsamic nuances that appear on the mid-palate, leading to a long, lingering finish that leaves a memorable impression.
This Vinsanto is a wine of great character and style, perfect for those who appreciate rich and full-bodied dessert wines. Ideal for pairing with aged cheeses, nut-based desserts, or enjoyed on its own as a treat after a fine meal. A wonderful choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

| Winery | The vines are grown in the Gaville Estate near Florence and Chianciano near Siena, in south-facing lower hillsides of older vineyards that are no longer in existence. Planted during the mid-to late 1960s, the vines are spaced at 2.80 x 1.20 metres and trained on a double arch system. The sedimentary soils are rich in clay and conglomerate pebbles with green and grey calcite. 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 with ISO 14001 and IFS. Formerly IWSC Italian Wine Producer of the Year, Carpineto was the first ever Italian winery 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. After finishing her viticulture, Giovanni Sacchet's daughter, Caterina, joined the Carpineto winemaking team. |
