Limited production single vineyard wine from the Montepulciano area, this is a top Super Tuscan wine with deep black-ruby red color, abundant bouquet of blackberry, liquorice and oak and very concentrated flavors of black fruit, chocolate and intriguing spices; this is a full-bodied wine with big round tannins and a long finish that will reward further cellaring; match with roasted game and grilled red meats; Carpineto has become one of the most innovative premium wines makers in Tuscany with a range of highly acclaimed traditional and modern wines from five distinct locations.
