Natalie's Score: 92/100

Carpineto Riserva 2016 is a dry, full-bodied, smoky and spicy 80% Sangiovese and 20% Canaiolo red wine blend generous with ripe black raspberry, cherry, plum, leather, mint, dried herbs, chocolate and cedar spice flavours on the palate. Tannins have that dusty quality.

Chianti Classico Riserva food pairings: pasta in tomato sauce, breaded veal cutlets, stuffed roasted turkey.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
