About this wine
The white flagship of Carpineto's Farnito range, made entirely from Chardonnay. It shows a straw-yellow color with tawny reflections, sweet and indulgent aromas of vanilla bean, honey, and cooked yellow apple, followed by a lemony burst of acidity and a saline edge reminiscent of wet slate.
A richer, more indulgent style of Chardonnay for those who enjoy oak-influenced whites.
Sommelier's Note
"Farnito Chardonnay leans into vanilla and honeyed richness rather than lean minerality — a deliberately indulgent style within Carpineto's white portfolio."
Food Pairings
Pairs well with lean white fish, creamy pasta dishes, and cured meats — a richer style of Chardonnay that can stand up to butter and cream sauces.

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.

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.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo

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.
