Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva Bottle:1 barely leaving a trace they25 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025 93 Points Wine Spectator This beefy red relies on its dense texture, concentrated flavors of black cherry and blackberry fruit, and muscular tannins to get its message across. Wild herb, iron and earth notes add depth, while the finish is long and spicy. 90 Points Wine Enthusiast The nose is savory and umami, with aromas of leather, graphite, underbrush, crushed rocks, bitter herbs and citrus swirling in the glass.
