The Carpineto estate in Montalcino is one of the highest in the appellation, situated at an altitude of 500 meters (1,600 feet) above sea level. The sedimentary soil has a galestrum structure with clay deposits dating back to the Eocene epoch (15 million years ago). The vineyards are surrounded by dense forests, which protect the vines from the warm, humid westerly winds from the Maremma and impart flavors of wild berries and Mediterranean herbs to the wine. This unique microclimate results in wines with intense bouquets, vibrant acidity, refined elegance, and great longevity.
