Carpineto 2007

Varieties: Sangiovese 90% - called Prugnolo Nero locally and Canaiolo Nero 10%
Region: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
Vintage:  2007
Colour: Deep Purple
Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Complex nose with aromas of vanilla and dry Christmas cake.
Flavour: Lovely structured wine with layers of flavour. Gentle dried fruit with vanilla and woody flavours as well. Great length and dry finish without tannins. Very smooth and well aged.
Points: 89 (3+8+12+8+8+50)
Notes:  We innocently included this in our tasting and I only now discover there is this DOCG producing this blend of wine. I rated this the best wine of our tasting and the group ranked it 2nd. $26 ~ 470Kc. One to add to the cellar.

  1. Vino Nobile is totally differente league. Someone confused Montepulziano d Abruzzo with this one, which is from Tuscany and it is done from Sangiovese Grosso :-)
