Natalie's Score: 95/100

Carpineto Riserva 2018 Nobile Di Montepulciano is produced from mostly Sangiovese with 20% Canaiolo. Most of the wine was aged in Slavonian oak casks for two years with a portion in French oak barrels. Look for tart red berry, cherry, cedar brush and sous bois flavours on this smoky, medium-bodied and zesty red from the Tuscany wine region. Powerful and still quite youthful, enjoy it with Osso Buco or veal parmesan.

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

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

The name of this wine derives from the fact that originally it was made only for the aristocratic noble families in the town of Montepulciano, in Siena. Crafted mainly from Sangiovese grapes, it is aged for two years in oak barrels, then for another 6-8 months after bottling. The nose is exceptionally elegant, with beautiful violet, berry and wood hints. The flavourful palate gives tart cherry, strawberries, dried herbs, cocoa, tobacco, baking spice and oak, in excellent balance with bright acidity, refined tannins and a long finish. Pair this with sirloin steak, roast duck, wild boar or aged cheeses and feel like an aristocrat!
