Carpineto 2020 Chianti Classico is a gift of time and a reminder to slow down and enjoy the pink florals, as you will find in this 3000 ml of pure Sangiovese bliss. Lovely on the nose and palate with pink florals, ripe bright cherry, red berry, fine herbs, Rooibos tea, subtle spicy flavours and soft tannins juicy on the palate. Enjoy now or later. Drink through 2025.

Chianti Classico food pairings: meaty pasta and rich tomato sauce dishes, roast chicken, veal Parmesan.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Chianti is always popular and it’s a great wine to remember with the holiday season just around the corner. This highly perfumed and medium-bodied Chianti was crafted from a 5-star vintage. It gives an enticing bouquet of cherries, red berries and violets, followed by an extremely well-balanced and velvety soft palate that adds flavours of bay leaf and white pepper. It pairs well with grilled red meats, game, veal or pasta in tomato sauce. A real crowd-pleaser and a truly lovely example of this style. I recommend buying a couple of bottles for yourself and a few to give as gifts. Or for a dinner party, indulge in the 3Litre size, which comes in a wooden box. This wine will age for 10-15 years, but only if you can wait that long…

Carpineto 2020 Chianti Classico (3000 ml) is a meditation wine to ponder life, enjoy with friends and good conversations, or already to go in a wooden gift box to that very special someone. This Chianti Classico is 100% Sangiovese and showing beautifully now on the nose and palate with pink florals, ripe bright cherry, red berry, fine herbs and subtle spicy flavours. - Community Wine Reviews
