Carpineto Chianti Classico is produced from estate-owned vineyards in the picturesque countryside of the Tuscan appellation. Full bodied with a velvety texture, this Chianti is abundantly aromatic with notes of violets, berries, and cherries. Aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and Slavonian oak barrels for 4-6 months, then bottled aged an additional 4-6 months. Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo
92 Points Awarded By Vinous: The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is wonderfully fleshy and expressive, and yet has plenty of structural underpinnings. Dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, licorice and mocha open up with a bit of air. The balance of fruit depth allied to a mid-weight sense of structure is just compelling. Readers will find a potent, bruising Riserva with tons of character. 09/20
