Carpineto Riserva Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2018

80% Sangiovese, 20% Canaiolo. Ripe, powerful, and earthy, with a woody, herbal nose and a hint of a medicinal quality. The smoky palate offers intense blackcurrants, tar, balsamic sweetness, and a little touch of farmyard. A youthful wine, compact and powerful. [Drink now through 2030.] Score – 95.
