The wine

Carpineta Fontalpino: The Soul of Chianti Classico Montaperto 2016

Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and every sip tells a story. This Chianti Classico Montaperto 2016 from Carpineta Fontalpino is an invitation to that escape, a wine that whispers the authenticity of its terroir. It embodies the delicacy and strength of Sangiovese, cultivated with respect.

Montaperto, an exceptional terroir in the heart of Chianti Classico

The Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino, nestled in the historic Chianti Classico region, specifically in Montaperto near Siena, is the birthplace of this remarkable wine. It is here, on these sun-drenched Tuscan lands, that the estate cultivates its vines organically, an approach that shows in the purity of every bottle. The 2016 vintage, made entirely from Sangiovese, is the result of a rigorous selection of grapes from a single parcel, that of Montaperto, guaranteeing a unique expression of the grape variety.

When you pour this wine, its ruby-red color with purplish highlights immediately catches the eye. On the nose, I am struck by an enchanting bouquet of red fruits, notably myrtle and mulberry, which blend harmoniously with delicate floral notes and a subtle spicy touch. On the palate, this Chianti Classico reveals a soft texture and velvety tannins that caress the palate, offering a fresh and delicate tasting experience. Traditional fermentation in steel tanks, followed by aging of at least 12 months, allows this Sangiovese to develop its full complexity and elegance.

Delicious pairings for an unforgettable moment

This Chianti Classico Montaperto 2016 is a true gem to accompany your meals. I warmly recommend it with grilled or sauced red meats, such as a good game dish. It will also be perfect with a platter of aged cheeses, where its velvety tannins and fruity aromas will create a perfect balance. Serve it between 16 and 18°C to appreciate all its nuances. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now as well as after a few years of cellaring, capable of evolving and surprising you still. A bottle to share at a dinner among friends or to celebrate a special moment, it will charm your guests with its elegance and depth.
