ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Established in Greve in Chianti in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families, Carpineto farms 500 hectares of sustainably farmed land, spread across 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.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
In the beautiful olive and cypress-studded countryside between Florence and Siena, lie the quaint hilltop villages of the Chianti Classico region. The wine of the same name is produced exclusively in this charming and beautiful area in stony soils. The Carpineto estate is surrounded by eight hectares of Sangiovese and Canaiolo vines cultivated sustainably, utilising the principles of precision agriculture. The soils of sedimentary composition have a clayey schist structure, locally called galestro, and are found in one of the coolest climates of the entire denomination.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by a skin contact maceration to extract colour, flavour and fine tannins. The wine was transferred to a combination of oak barrels and casks of Slavonian and French origin for a minimum of 12 months. It was then transferred back into stainless tanks briefly before bottling. The wine was bottle-aged in temperature-controlled cellars for a minimum of 10 months before release.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A traditionally styled Chianti Classico, rich, velvety, full-flavoured and warming, with savoury notes layered with the fruit and a long, generous finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Sangiovese 80%, Canaiolo 20%.
