Sangiovese · Canaiolo
About this wine
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.
A more serious, structured step up for those who already enjoy the standard Vino Nobile.
Sommelier's Note
"The extended oak and bottle aging give this Riserva a genuinely ethereal quality — violet and cocoa notes that few Vino Nobile bottlings achieve at this level."
Food Pairings
A natural partner for slow-braised beef, wild game stews, and truffle risotto — dishes with enough weight to match its structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does this Riserva differ from the standard bottling?
- It undergoes significantly longer oak aging (18-24 months vs. the standard's shorter cycle) plus an additional 12 months in bottle, resulting in greater complexity and softer tannins.
- How long can it age in the cellar?
- Well-stored bottles can continue developing for 10+ years from vintage, gaining leather, dried fruit, and forest-floor complexity.
- What food does it pair with best?
- Its structure and dried-fruit, cocoa-tinged profile pair beautifully with braised red meats, aged cheeses, and mushroom-based dishes.

Chianti Classico
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo
Carpineto's entry-level Chianti Classico DOCG, blending Sangiovese with a portion of Canaiolo.

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.
