Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you to a gem of Chianti Classico, a wine that embodies the soul of Tuscany. This Sangiovese in purity, the fruit of organic farming, is an invitation to discover an authentic terroir and passionate craftsmanship.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino estate is a perfect example of the Chianti Classico DOCG winemaking tradition. Here, Sangiovese reigns supreme, cultivated with deep respect for the land, as evidenced by their commitment to organic farming. This 2019 vintage is the fruit of perfectly ripe grapes, carefully harvested to express all the richness of their origin.
This wine, made from 100% Sangiovese, undergoes fermentation in steel tanks and maceration on the skins, techniques that allow the best extraction of the grape variety's aromas and color. It is then aged for at least 12 months, a process that gives it its complexity and elegance. In your glass, it will reveal a deep ruby red color, adorned with purplish reflections, a promise of beautiful concentration. On the nose, you will be enveloped by an intoxicating fruity bouquet dominated by red fruit aromas, notably blackcurrant, cherry and plum, enhanced by floral notes and delicate spices. On the palate, this Chianti Classico is balanced and enveloping, offering a warm character and simple pleasure, but with a beautiful persistence on the finish.
To accompany this Sangiovese, I suggest you turn to dishes that will magnify its character. It will be an ideal companion for grilled or sauced red meats, game, or aged cheeses. Imagine it on a convivial table, sharing a moment with your loved ones, or during a more intimate evening where you wish to savor a wine that tells a story. This Chianti Classico from Carpineta Fontalpino is a beautiful expression of Tuscany, a wine I recommend you discover for its authenticity and undeniable charm.
