The Tenuta Carpineto, in Montalcino, rises at an altitude that reaches over 500 meters above sea level.m., one of the highest points within the denomination. The structure of the soil consists of galestro and clay accumulations that date back to the Eocene (15 million years ago). The vineyards are surrounded by a dense Mediterranean scrub that preserves them from the humid western currents coming from the Maremma; it is also thanks to their exposure, that the wine reveals hints of berries and Mediterranean herbs. A truly unique microclimate, which gives the wines aromatic intensity, lively acidity and marked elegance, as well as incredible longevity.
