キャンティ・クラシコ
Chianti Classico
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo
Carpineto's entry-level Chianti Classico DOCG, blending Sangiovese with a portion of Canaiolo. Aged briefly in a mix of stainless steel and Slavonian oak, it shows the house style of bright red-fruit character with an earthy, savory edge — the everyday expression of the estate's Chianti Classico terroir.
キャンティ・クラシコ・リゼルヴァ
Chianti Classico Riserva
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo
A step up in structure and ambition from the base Chianti Classico, this Riserva DOCG blends Sangiovese with roughly 20% Canaiolo and undergoes longer barrel aging. The result is a fuller-bodied wine with layered cherry, blackberry, violet, and baking-spice character, and a mineral, graphite-like backbone.
キャンティ・クラシコ・グラン・セレツィオーネ
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
RedSangiovese
Carpineto's top-tier Chianti Classico, sourced from a small 2-hectare cru in Dudda, Greve in Chianti — one of the coolest sites in the appellation. Made from 100% estate Sangiovese and aged around 18 months in French oak, it shows deep ruby color, pronounced wild berry, plum, and blackberry aromas layered with vanilla and licorice, and a palate of great strength, texture, and persistence.
ヴィーノ・ノービレ・ディ・モンテプルチャーノ
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo
Carpineto's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, made primarily from the local Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) clone with a portion of Canaiolo. It shows a deep ruby color and a complex bouquet of ripe cherries, plums, and floral notes, with harmonious tannins and a long, satisfying finish — an expressive counterpart to the estate's Chianti Classico.
ヴィーノ・ノービレ・ディ・モンテプルチャーノ・リゼルヴァ
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo
The Riserva expression of Carpineto's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, aged longer in a combination of Slavonian and French oak (18-24 months) followed by 12 months in bottle. It shows a brilliant ruby red tending to garnet, with an ethereal, elegant bouquet of violet, wood, strawberry, cocoa, and vanilla.
ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ
Brunello di Montalcino
RedSangiovese
Carpineto's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, made from 100% Sangiovese (the local Brunello clone), sourced from high-altitude vineyards over 500 meters above sea level that lend the wine finesse, elegance, minerality, and longevity. Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for around three years plus additional bottle aging, it shows a complex bouquet of nuts, spice, vanilla, cherry, and raspberry.
