Natalie's Score: 95/100

Carpineto Riserva 2017 Nobile Di Montepulciano is produced from mostly Sangiovese with some Canaiolo. Most of the wine was aged in Slavonian oak casks for two years with a portion in French oak barrels. Fragrant with bright cherry and baking spice aromas, the wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied and vibrant with ripe, tart red berry and cherry, dried herbs, pepper and well-integrated oak spice. Tannins are fine-grained and rounded. Decant for two hours if having tonight, but can easily cellar to 2030.

Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano food pairings: grilled sirloin steak, tourtière, roast duck.

Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Lots of complexity in the glass here with layers of licorice, sandalwood and eucalyptus on the nose. The palate is smooth and nicely balanced. Subtle, savoury dried cherry dominates the palate with finely texured tannins on the finish. All very harmonious and enjoyable. Pair with Osso Buco or veal parmigiana. (Tasted Oct 2022 thewineloverskitchen.com)
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Beautiful! Aromas of dried cherry, cedar, sandalwood, tobacco, pepper, and sweet smoke. Medium bodied, with vibrant acidity, and dry, gripping tannins on the palate. Fruit notes are rounded and bright with a slight tartness, along with notes of cedar and smoke on a lengthy finish. Pair with pan seared duck.
Carpineto Riserva 2017 Nobile Di Montepulciano is produced from 90% Sangiovese with the balance in Canaiolo. Fragrant with tart red berry fruit, cherry, dried savoury herbs and woody notes rich and long on the palate. Tannins are fine-grained. Enjoy with pan-seared duck breasts accompanied with a dollop of red currant jelly. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews
