About the Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva 2020
The Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva is a powerful and sophisticated expression of Tuscany’s heartland, distinguished by its significant structure and extended maturation. Sourced from high-altitude estate vineyards, this wine is aged for at least one year in a combination of French oak barriques and large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by nearly a year of refinement in the bottle. The result is an intense ruby-red wine that opens with a complex bouquet of ripe raspberry, black cherry, and blackberry, interwoven with elegant suggestions of vanilla, tobacco, and wild herbs. On the palate, it is remarkably full-bodied and warm, offering a velvety texture supported by muscular tannins and a persistent, spicy finish. This Riserva is specifically crafted for longevity, possessing the balance of vibrant acidity and dense fruit required to evolve beautifully for over a decade in the cellar.
This beefy red relies on its dense texture, concentrated flavors of black cherry and blackberry fruit, and muscular tannins to get its message across. Wild herb, iron and earth notes add depth, while the finish is long and spicy.
The nose is savory and umami, with aromas of leather, graphite, underbrush, crushed rocks, bitter herbs and citrus swirling in the glass. Those earthy, bitter notes remain on the palate, but sweet cherries and wild strawberries pop overhead, while charged with powerful tannins and acid.
