Reviews and Ratings

Carpineto farnito 2012 is a full-bodied, savoury and meaty Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tuscany wine region. This wine is inky dark with rich black fruit, blackberry flavours on the palate on this vintage from a hot year in Tuscany. Drink now and for the next three years. Pair with a rosemary and garlic roast of pork. - Community Wine Reviews
