Description
Named for the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, the term nobile has historical roots in the original practice of reserving this wine exclusively for the aristocratic families of the area. Carpineto’s Vino Nobile is produced from fruit harvested exclusively from their Montepulciano Estate. The ethereal bouquet shows elegant notes of violet and toasted oak nuances. Bold fruit flavors envelope the palate with a velvety, elegant texture and long finish, it is dry and full in style. This Riserva benefits from extensive aging in a combination of Slavonian and French oak barrels for 18-24 months, followed by 12 months in bottle.

A fluid red, with cherry and plum flavors accented by tomato leaf and juniper. Reveals earth and iron notes as this firms up on the lingering finish. Open and stays fruity through the end. Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2028. 12,500 cases made, 6,500 cases imported.

An herbaceous, earthy nose features notes of soil, leaves, mushrooms and rocks, with undertones of tomato and blackberry providing balance. Black cherries join the blackberries on the juicy, slick palate, before the earthiness returns on the slightly spicy finish.

A medium-bodied red with a savory array of bay leaves, sour cherries and olives. Sleek and well-balanced, with medium tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now.
