2022 Chianti Classico, Carpineto
Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy
Carpineto is an outstanding Tuscan producer making wines that typify the region. This 2022 Chianti Classico opens in the glass with aromatic notes of fresh violets, ripe berries, and juicy cherries. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably graceful, offering a velvety texture and a superb balance between vibrant fruit and subtle structure. Silky, well-integrated tannins lead into a long, delicate finish.

Established in Greve in Chianti in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families, Carpineto farms 500 hectares of sustainably farmed land, spread amongst five carbon-neutral estates in the regions of Chianti Classico, Alto Valdarno, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino and Maremma. Carpineto holds the VIVA certification for sustainability, and is accredited ISO 14001 and IFS. Formerly IWSC Italian Wine Producer of the Year, Carpineto was also the first ever Italian winery to be awarded the IWSC International Winemaker of the Year. Antonio Zaccheo is now assisted by his son, Antonio, and daughter, Francesca, who have both previously worked in the wine trade in the USA. Giovanni Sacchet’s daughter, Caterina, joined the Carpineto winemaking team after finishing her viticulture and oenology degree. Carpineto produces exquisite wines with elegant typicity.
Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vats with medium-length maceration. After the final blend was assembled, the wine was aged for a minimum of six months in oak casks and then was left to rest in tank before being bottled. Bottling took place during the second year following the vintage, and the wine has benefited from four to six months' bottle ageing before release.
