Carpineto wines hold a special place in the hearts of Quebecers and this Chianti Riserva is no exception to the rule. Aged in barrels for a year or more and refined in bottle for more than 10 months, this preponderance of Sangiovese opens on enticing aromas of cedar, celery salt, blackcurrant, and cherry. The woody finish feels well integrated and offers robust tannins.

(Automatically translated) A nose that plunges us into the heart of Tuscany! Beautiful, masterful ageing that offers us notes of wood, tobacco, ripe cherry, tannins present without being too astringent, medium acidity followed by a long finish. A deep Chianti, delicious now and for the next 15 years.
(Automatically translated) Blend of sangiovese (mostly), canaiolo and some other varieties. Medium ruby color with slightly bricked bangs. Flavours of red fruits, dried herbs and oak. Good length and freshness. Always a safe bet to accompany a pasta Bolognese dish.
