Carpineto was founded in 1967 by Antonio Zaccheo and Giovanni Sacchet and farms 424 hectares of land spread over four estates among Tuscany’s most prestigious appellations. Carpineto has been named IWSC Italian Wine Producer Of The Year in 2003 and was the first ever Italian winery ever to win the IWSC International Winemaker Of The Year Trophy in 1994.Antonio Zaccheo is now aided by his son Antonio and daughter, Francesca who both previously worked in the wine trade in the USA. Giovanni Sacchet’s daughter, Caterina, has recently joined the Carpineto wnemaking team after finishing her viticulture and oenology degree.
Viticulture: Single wire cordon. Manual and mechanical harvesting.
Vinification: The harvested grapes are dried in wooden boxes then slowly barrel fermented during the winter months
Tasting Note: Lovely balance between the complex, intense balsamic fragrances, alcohol and sweetness. Full of toffee and peach flavours together with walnuts, this wine is concentrated, long and persistent on the finish.
Every day serving suggestion: At 5-7C as an aperitif, or at 16C with desserts, and strong cheese such as Pecorino and Gorgonzola. Also excellent by itself as a “meditation” wine.
Blend Trebbiano Toscano 70%, Malvasia 30%
