| Carpineta Fontalpino | Chianti Classico “Fontalpino” DOCG | 2015 | Wine Advocate | 01/10/2017 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2015 Chianti Classico Fontalpino is a delightful wine to drink. It shows ripe primary fruit and sweet back notes that add to the textural richness and the decisive but relatively understated power of the wine. Dark cherry, blackberry, spice and cured leather are part of the aromatic ensemble. The mouthfeel is fresh, soft and nicely constructed with pretty layers of medium extraction and firmness.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct, 2017 |

| Carpineta Fontalpino | Do ut Des IGT | 2015 | Wine Advocate | 01/10/2017 | 94 | ||||||
Verbiage“This is a Bordeaux-inspired blend made with Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2015 Do Ut Des is a hearty and darkly concentrated expression that is layered, rich and beautifully concentrated. This wine works exceptionally well in a vintage like 2015 that had a warm summer season. The wine’s appearance is black and impenetrable. The aromas span from pressed rose to spice and leather. This wine shows big ambition with a delicate disposition.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct, 2017 |
