2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Fontalpino – 91 pts
… It shows the soft and approachable side to this classic vintage with bold cherry and blackberry that segue to dark spice, tar and tobacco. Aromatically speaking, it runs the full Sangiovese gamut. ..Monica Larner

 Gioia Cresti |
The Cresti family have been proprietors of Carpineta Fontalpino Vineyard since the 1960’s and traces of the wine making traditions date as far back as the past century. The name Carpineta Fontalpino has never changed. It has its roots in two historical places of the area of Montaperti. We find Carpineta, a site where typical trees characteristic of this area, with silver back leaves, called “Carpini” grow and Fontalpino, the water source with the back drop of the pine trees of Montaperti – two noteworthy places of this important medieval historical site. The vineyard is located in the middle of Tuscany, very close to the splendid town of Siena and the historical village of Castelnuovo Berardenga. The surrounding territory is though rich in history, legends and love that are experienced by all those who are fortunate to visit it. Its unforgettable atmosphere creates strong emotions. Gioia is the vineyard’s oenologist and she is responsible for all the production phases, from the wine making to the aging.

Intense nose of plum, prune, black cherry and berries with hints of oak, vanilla and spice. A big red – powerful and resonating, muscular tannins, with dense fruit. Intense and impressive.
