About the wine

A Tuscan Sangiovese with a juicy palate, citrus lift and a subtle smoky edge. Native-yeast fermentation in concrete is followed by maturation in large oak casks and further time in bottle. The result keeps the fruit expressive while developing the savoury character expected of Chianti Classico.

About Carpineta Fontalpino

Carpineta Fontalpino is the Cresti family’s estate at Montaperti, near Siena. Brother and sister Filippo and Gioia continue the business established by their parents, with Gioia overseeing winemaking and maturation. The vineyards are farmed organically and include Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon across varied soils and elevations. Situated where the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi areas meet, the estate makes wines from both appellations as well as Toscana IGT, with careful grape selection central to its approach.
