Notes on the Wine
A complex red with aromas of dark cherry, cedar, spice, licorice, and wet earth that developed following 6 months of oak aging and 6 months of bottle aging. The mouthfeel delivers a touch of bright acidity that is reminiscent of white cherry and cranberry, before yielding to a lengthy finish of mature red fruits and smooth tannins. Ageable for 10-12 years following the vintage, this pairs nicely with pork or poultry dishes.
Notes on the Producer
Carpineto wines are grounded in tradition that influence everything from the sustainable efforts which go into how wine grapes are cultivated to how wine cellars are maintained to follow the natural phenomenon of grape transformation. Carpineto wines are the fruit of an age-old connection to the land that bears its grapes and gives them the unique qualities that vary from wine to wine. Any wine which fully express the aromas and characteristics of its land and soil, are sure to develop vibrant and fragrant qualities with years of aging.
