- This wine possesses a full-bodied and rich profile. It is characterized by a deep, concentrated fruit flavour enhanced by nuances of spice, liquorice, and vanilla. It exemplifies elegance and culminates in a lingering finish.
Each plot was fermented separately in steel tanks at 25 to 29°C, with skin contact lasting 10 to 15 days. After the malolactic conversion was complete, the separate crus were blended and aged in new, small oak barriques, where the wine remained until the following January. The wine benefitted from at least eight months of bottle ageing in the temperature-controlled cellars before release.
A full and rich Cabernet Sauvignon, with layers of concentrated fruit, hints of cedar spice, liquorice and vanilla enveloping elegant tannins through to a long finish.

Winery | The grapes are from the Gaville Estate near Florence and the Chianciano Estate near Siena. The vines are grown in clay and limestone soils, which offer water retention properties to nourish the vines through the warm, sunny growing season. 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. |
