Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva: A Noble Tuscan Red

The Chianti Classico Riserva from Carpineto stands as a testament to the pedigree of the Sangiovese grape within the prestigious Chianti Classico DOCG. Crafted from the finest fruit, this 'Riserva' receives extended maturation, yielding a red wine of exceptional complexity, structure, and ageing capacity. It’s an elegant, rewarding wine that truly delivers on its promise of quality.

Expert Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, rich ruby, transitioning to a classic garnet rim as it matures in the bottle.
• Nose: An intense, layered bouquet offering ripe red and black fruit-cherry and plum-with sophisticated secondary notes of vanilla pod, tobacco, and subtle earthy hints from its time in oak.
• Palate: Full, harmonious, and beautifully structured. The characteristic high acidity of Sangiovese is brilliantly integrated with firm yet finely-grained tannins, leading to a long, persistent, and warm finish that speaks of its Tuscan origin.

Serving Suggestions

This Riserva is ideally suited for a traditional Sunday Roast or classic Italian braised dishes. Its structure is perfect for rich lamb or game. We recommend pairing it with a rosemary-studded Roast Leg of Lamb. Serve at 16-18°C. Decanting for an hour will ensure maximum enjoyment of its nuanced profile.
