Winemaker Notes 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.
Tasting Notes Aromas of red cherry, tobacco, and violet lifted by a whiff of mint. Great density with vibrant flavors of red currant and gun flint. Solidly structured and mineral bright; finishes with a firm tannic spine.
