Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino
www.carpinetafontalpino.it/en

"Rich in history, myths and love stories, our land instills in those who visit it intense emotions and unforgettable atmospheres: we cherish the privilege of living them, and we strive to maintain its landscape intact, together with its traditions." - Filippo Cresti.

It is a family business consisting of brother and sister, Filippo (Manager) and Gioia (Enologist) Cresti; together with Sara (studying enology), the new generation of the family. They take care of Carpineta Fontalpino with the aid of trustworthy coworkers and lead the company that their parents built working intensely, with the awareness that the work on the land gives back only if one toils and commits to it – since nothing comes without sacrifice. Not by chance, they named their most esteemed wine Do Ut Des: a Latin saying that means “I give so that you will give”. It’s a prayer to our land.

2016 Do Ut Des - Super Tuscan IGT

34% Petit Verdot, 33% Merlot & 33% Cabernet Sauvignon

A BIO Super Tuscan that is deeply ruby in color, it strikes for its intensity in the mouth while it offers delicate but persistent notes on the nose. The role played by ripe fruit and sweet spices is fascinating: the fruit slowly evolves into darker, toastier fragrances – chocolate, licorice – while in the glass. Initially aged in tonneau and bottle it rewards cellaring.

2018 Fontalpino Chianti Classico DOCG

Sangiovese

This BIO wine, aged in tonneau and bottle is a wonderful example of pure Sangiovese, ruby red with darker traces, with interesting notes of plum, cherry and currant. Elegant but straightforward, it feels warm and embracing and rewards with a great aftertaste. Balanced.

"... 2018 Chianti Classico Fontalpino (made with organic fruit) is a special wine with a hint of raspberry or candied orange peel that is specific to ths bottle from Castelnuovo Berardegna.  This is one of the most Pinot Noir-oriented Sangiovese wines I have tasted from this slightly warmer Chianti Classico subregion.  The wine is delicate, polished and perfect for pork loin roast with onions and potatoes.  Nice job."  91 Points - Robert Parker

2016 Chianti Classico DOCG - Cru Dofana

Sangiovese

A Cru wine of selected 100% Sangiovese grapes from the DOFANA Single Vineyard. Aged in small barrels and in bottle, this BIO wine is austere and mysterious with ripe fruit notes and pronounced but sweet tannins. It leaves a vanilla and tobacco aftertaste. It is the solar face of Fontalpino's Sangiovese, majestic and vital.
