About this wine

- How does it compare to Chianti Classico?
- Vino Nobile tends to show riper, rounder fruit and slightly softer tannins than Chianti Classico, reflecting the warmer Montepulciano growing area.

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.
