Carpineto Rosso di Montepulciano - Rosso di Montepulciano DOC - Red - 2024 :

 

Carpineto: A Fresh and Approachable Tuscan Red

The Rosso Di Montepulciano DOC from Carpineto is a superb, accessible introduction to the quality of the Montepulciano region in Tuscany. Predominantly made from the Sangiovese grape (or Prugnolo Gentile), this red is crafted to be enjoyed young, providing the depth of a Tuscan red without the heavy tannins or extended ageing. It’s the perfect mid-week pour that still delivers on pedigree and flavour.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: Bright, luminous ruby red.
• Nose: An intense, clean bouquet dominated by fresh red fruit-think ripe cherries and strawberries-with a delicate lift of violet and a hint of balsamic spice.
• Taste: The palate is fresh, supple, and wonderfully balanced. It features soft, restrained tannins and a lively acidity, making it juicy and highly quaffable. A true testament to the finesse of well-made Sangiovese.

Food Matching & Service

This wine is excellent when served slightly cool (16-18°C / 60-64°F). It’s a versatile match for traditional British fare and Italian classics.

• Food Matches: Sunday Roast Lamb (especially with rosemary and garlic), White Meats, Tuscan Charcuterie, Young/Fresh Cheeses (e.g., Goats Cheese, fresh Pecorino).
• Serving: Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour to enjoy its vibrant fruit.
