Grape Varietals: 100% Sangiovese
Location: Tuscany, Chianti Classico in the historic town of Castelnuovo Berardenga.
Profile: Ruby red color, smell of berries and spices, persistent, pleasant, and versatile structure in the drink. Great return and in its enveloping simplicity like a hug. Balanced and savory.
Winery: Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino is located on the slopes of Montaperti hill where the epic battle between the Sienese Ghibellines and the Florentine Guelphs took place on 4 1260. The company has been organic for many years now, producing about 100,000 bottles per year of fine wines respecting the traditions of this wonderful territory.
I have been to the Cresti winery and have met Gioia Cresti many times. She is one of the best winemakers in Italy. She consults and makes wine for other wineries.
The winery Carpineta Fonlapino is owned by her brother Fippipo and herself.
The grapes for this Chianti Classico are estate grown by Gioia.
Ciao Daniel
