Producer Description
Carpineto’s single vineyard Brunello di Montalcino possesses a complex bouquet of nuts and spice, accented by hints of vanilla, cherry, and raspberry. Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for three years and cellared in bottle for 6 months, this wine offers a warm, smooth finish. A wine which will reward extensive cellaring.
James Suckling: 92 Points
A very pretty 2017 with a softness and roundness as well as ripe fruit, but it remains fresh and agile. Full-bodied. Delicious finish. Drink now.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
This ripe red is hallmarked by flavors of cherry, iron and tobacco, with elements of plum and eucalyptus. Strikes a balance between fruity and savory, with a lingering finish of dusty tannins. Best from 2024.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, leather and licorice shape the nose on this big, round red. The licorice aroma carries over to the chewy, accessible palate along with steeped prune and polished, enveloping tannins. Drink through 2027.
Decanter: 90 Points
A juicy riserva that is coming into its prime. Still quite fresh, with chestnut nuances to the fruity palate.
