The palate is complex and richly fruited, framed by glossy tannins, with mineral undertones beneath a core of wild red fruit; concentrated, elegant and full of finesse. Sangiovese Grosso 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarpineto was established at Greve in Chianti in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families and now farms 500 hectares of sustainably farmed land across five carbon-neutral estates in Chianti Classico, Alto Valdarno, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino and Maremma; it holds VIVA certification for sustainability along with ISO 14001 and IFS accreditation, and was the first Italian winery ever named International Winemaker of the Year by the International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition. The Montalcino estate is one of the highest in the appellation at around 500 metres, and the single vineyard Vigneto Paradiso is planted to Sangiovese Grosso on a dry-farmed, north-facing hillside of sedimentary soil with a galestro frame and Eocene clay, at over 5,000 vines to the hectare on unilateral cordon, with moss growing beneath the rows. The fruit was hand-picked into small lug boxes, sorted and crushed at once, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel at 25-30°C with frequent pump-overs and a long maceration on the skins, then aged 42 months in oak casks of varying size in the estate cellars and bottled without fining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 17-18°C and decant two hours ahead.
