Carpineto is an impressive producer in so many ways. It farms all 500ha of its collection of vineyards spread across some of the finest sites in Tuscany sustainably. And all five of its wineries (in Chianti Classico, Alto Valdarno, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino and Maremma) are now certified carbon neutral.
That level of care can be seen in the quality of its wines, not least the estate Brunello that the judges put forward as their Wine Merchant Top 100 Red Wine Trophy 2023.

"Deep garnet in colour right to the rim. A gorgeous nose of stewed strawberries, mulberry, hedgerow, baked cherry and hints of vanilla and leather.
The palate shows a very well made, balance wine. Initially it's all ripe fruits, mature cherry and plum. As the flavours evolve you get darker mulberry, cherry clafoutis and a finish of lovely spice, and well-balanced tannins.
Stunning and easily worth the money!"
