Brilliant ruby red with a tendency to garnet. The bouquet is ethereal, extraordinarily elegant with hints of violet and wood. Dry, harmonic, fruity and velvety, with an elegant texture and long finish.   Winemaker Notes

Pair with aged cheeses and game, especially wild boar

Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Caniolo

95 Points - Natalie MacLean

Carpineto's Riserva Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from Tuscany is an elegant, medium-bodied red wine blending Sangiovese and Canaiolo with notes of red cherry, iris, graphite and espresso. This dry wine displays fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that will soften beautifully over the next nine years. Serve it slightly below room temperature with wild boar ragu over pappardelle as the wine's structure stands up to the rich game sauce, or pair it with herb-roasted pork tenderloin where the wine's savory complexity complements the aromatic thyme and sage. This Riserva represents exceptional quality from one of the region's premier appellations and will continue to evolve through 2034.
