CARPINETO VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO 750 ml

Description

From the storied hills of Tuscany's Montepulciano, Carpineto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano emerges as a testament to Italian winemaking heritage. This red wine captures the essence of a region celebrated for its noble vintages, brought to life by Carpineto, a estate founded in 1967. Visionaries Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo set out to craft exceptional wines from Tuscany's classic grapes, upholding sustainability and excellence across five properties.

The 2019 Riserva enchants with a profound ruby red shade, touched by garnet edges. Its aromas weave ripe cherries and dried plums alongside violet blooms, with whispers of tobacco and spice. Sipping reveals a robust yet graceful body, brimming with dark berry depths, earthy whispers, and balsamic echoes. Sturdy tannins, smoothed to perfection, frame the vivid acidity that stretches into a lingering, even close.

Drawn primarily from Sangiovese—called Prugnolo Gentile in these parts—and enhanced by minor varietals, this bottling embodies refined tradition. Critics have taken note: Wine Spectator awards 93 points, James Suckling gives 92, and Decanter bestows 94. Such acclaim underscores its stature among Tuscan reds.

Picture pairing it with robust flavors that match its intensity—tender osso buco, a slow-simmered wild boar ragù draped over wide pappardelle ribbons, or sharp aged pecorino. These combinations elevate the wine's layers, turning a meal into a memory. Ideal drinking lies ahead, from 2025 to 2034, promising peak moments with every pour.

At 12.50% ABV in a classic 750 ml bottle, Carpineto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva invites discerning palates to explore Tuscany's soul. Whether for a special dinner or cellaring potential, it delivers depth and poise that lingers long after the glass empties.
