Product Notes

Carpineto Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a splendid representation of Italian wine-making artistry. Renowned for its robust ruby red hue, this fine vintage exhibits a remarkably expansive palate of ripe fruits, infused with undertones of forest floor and spice. Exquisite, full-bodied, with a gratifyingly persistent finish, this Brunello boasts a well-balanced tannin structure. A superb accompaniment to red meat dishes or mature cheese. Elegantly aged for a minimum of two years in oak, Carpineto's Brunello di Montalcino is a veritable delight, offering both complexity and refinement, a true testament to excellently crafted Tuscan wine.

Tasting Notes

A mature Brunello showing a decisive and fine bouquet of hints of vanilla, deep red cherries, raspberry and a touch of liquorice. Elegant and well textured, with a warm and smooth palate and a long finish.
