The Carpineto Estate, in Montalcino, rises at an altitude that reaches over 500 meters slm , one of the highest points within the denomination. The structure of the soil is made up of marl and accumulations of clay dating back to the Eocene (15 million years ago). The vineyards are surrounded by thick Mediterranean scrub which protects them from the humid western currents coming from the Maremma; it is also thanks to their exposure that the wine reveals hints of berries and Mediterranean herbs. A truly unique microclimate, which gives the wines aromatic intensity, lively acidity and marked elegance, as well as incredible longevity.
