Sobre la bodega y los vinos

Carpineta Fontalpino is a farm and winery that belongs to the Cresti family. Traces of wine-making roots in the area date back up to the 19th century, but it was in 1967 that Italo Cresti, Gioia and Filippo’s father, decided to believe in his vocation and turned it into a business, run with love and devotion.

The Farm is located in the heart of Tuscany, near the splendid Siena. Not far from our land, the historic Montaperti hill welcomes us in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Southern outpost of the Chianti Classico denomination. The land we own extends for about 90 hectares (222 acres) that we cultivate with certified organic practices: we grow vines and “Senatore Cappelli” wheat.

The vineyards cover an area of 30 hectares (74 acres), with parcels specialized in Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon – as well as other selected varietals, such as Petit Verdot and Alicante. Since we are blessed with a strategic position, near the border of different wine areas, we are able to produce both Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, in addition to our Supertuscan IGT.

CHIANTI COLLI SENESI

90% Sangiovese, 5% Alicante, 5% Gamay

The character and simplicity of our most Southern vineyards present us with a pleasant and fragrant wine. Ruby red, with interesting notes of cherry and currant. Light-bodied, delightful and versatile in the mouth.

FONTALPINO
CHIANTI CLASSICO

100% Sangiovese.

Typical 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.

VIGNA MONTAPERTO
CHIANTI CLASSICO

Cru, 100% Sangiovese.

Single Vineyard Montaperto.

A Sangiovese that embraces your mouth, rich in flower and spices on the nose, soft in the mouth, with velvety tannins. It possesses an innate elegance. A lunar, feminine, ethereal wine.

VIGNA DOFANA
CHIANTI CLASSICO

Cru, 100% Sangiovese.

Dofana Single Vineyard.

Austere and mysterious Sangiovese, with ripe fruit notes and pronounced but sweet tannins. It leaves a vanilla and tobacco aftertaste. It is the solar face of our Sangiovese, majestic and vital.

DO UT DES

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

Our Supertuscan is deeply ruby in color, and 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. Great aging in the bottle.

BOULÉ
SPUMANTE
METODO CLASSICO

100% Chardonnay.

This exceptional Metodo Classico has been realized thanks to Gioia’s passion for sparkling wines: Boulé gives you elegance and length, and it reaches your nose and mouth with bread crust, butter but also fruit notes, especially peach and apple. The perlage is fine and delightful, the taste is silky, refined and clean. 24 months on the lees.
