Carpineto 1998 Riserva (Chianti Classico)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Carpineto / Chianti Classico

Like many wines from this producer, it excels because of its sheer drinkability. They are using more new wood flavors than in the past, but the beautifully perfumed, vibrant fruit, deep acidity and light elegance reveal a wine that will age well, as well as being drinkable now.
