Description
Carpineto, founded in 1967, produces this elegant, complex and boldly flavoured IGT from Cabernet sourced from hillside sites in Gaville (near Florence and Chianciano/Montepulciano in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano). Consistently crafted to offer deep, dark fruit, leather, spice and meat notes with polished tannins. A fine choice for grilled steak.

Tasting Notes
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Farnito opens to an inky dark appearance and heavy black fruit flavors of dried blackberry and prune. This wine portrays a hearty and bold fruit profile that speaks more of the dry and hot 2012 vintage than it does the Tuscany wine character. The results are a chunky and thick. The mouthfeel shows ample power both in terms of concentration and alcoholic heft. Drink Date: 2017-2028. Score - 90. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016)
