THE WINE
The Brunello di Montalcino from Carpineto is produced in the Montalcino area, in the province of Siena. This internationally renowned red wine is known for both its character and high quality. This Brunello, aged for three years in Slavonian oak barrels of varying capacities, is fragrant, refined, deep, and energetic. It has a broad and rich bouquet, expressing notes of cherry and raspberry, hints of violet, and touches of licorice and sweet spices. The taste is warm, soft, with great structure and long persistence. A must-try.
THE COMPANY
The company was founded in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families. In the late sixties, Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo established Carpineto with the aim of producing a Chianti Classico of international level. This represented a true revolution at the time in a Chianti world that had remained too traditional until then.
Under their leadership, Carpineto has grown to become a company with an international reputation, successfully producing wines of great intensity and extract, reliable and, above all, of consistent quality over time. Today, the reds of Carpineto are renowned for these characteristics, which have even strengthened in recent years. Great credit goes to the long aging process, which often exceeds the six/twelve months required by the regulations of various classifications.
Carpineto operates in Tuscany, paying particular attention to the deep roots of its tradition and its historical denomination. The management of the vineyards is characterized by a low environmental impact regime and is supported by wineries that are managed with the utmost respect for the natural phenomena that transform grapes into wine. The combination of these factors gives rise to wines that have a close connection to the territory, reflecting the characteristics of each individual vineyard and its denomination, distilling the aromas and “culture” that remain alive and fragrant in the bottle for many years.
The product line indeed includes wines from the most prestigious DOCG to varietal wines of great structure. These wines are exported to 70 countries around the world. About 95% of the entire production consists of red wines, most of which are aged three years or more before being released to the market.
