Description

In the Chianti Classico Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino, we find the typical example of pure Sangiovese, produced with perfect grapes, ripe at the right point and cultivated in organic farming.

A wine that appears in the glass with a color rruby bone with violet reflections and a fruity bouquet intoxicating on the nose, with the prevalence of aromas of riber, cherry and plum.

When tasted, it immediately presents itself as a balanced wine, enveloping and warm on the palate as only the warmth of a hug can be. A red with a simple and delicate sip that however gives a great return in the finish. Excellent wine to pair with red and white meats, poultry, roasts and cured meats.
