Carpineto Carpineto Chianti Classico 2022 750ml

A jeweled ruby color, the 2021 Chianti Classico is ripe and has a great nose of fresh wild herbs, pure raspberry, graphite, and fresh violets. Medium-bodied, its more cedar tones come through on the palate, with ripe, very well-integrated tannins, clean lift, and a hint of its toasted incense on the finish. A very well-balanced wine from Carpineto, it’s showing beautifully now but will certainly improve in another 6 months. Drink 2024-2034.

Aromas of earth and smoke mingle with cherry in this elegant red, which starts fruity before picking up accents of wild rosemary and thyme on the firm finish. Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2028. 25,000 cases made, 12,000 cases imported.
