White wine | Tuscany, Italy
Carpineto's Originale is more than just a wine; it's an embodiment of the innovative spirit that defines Tuscan winemaking. Hailing from the heart of Tuscany, a region celebrated for its red wines, Carpineto dared to venture into the realm of white wines with this distinctive offering. The Originale is a testament to Carpineto's commitment to quality, sustainability, and the unique expression of the Tuscan terroir.
This white wine is crafted from a carefully selected blend of indigenous grape varieties, the exact composition of which remains a closely guarded secret. These grapes are grown on Carpineto's estate vineyards, where sustainable viticultural practices are employed to ensure the health of the vines and the preservation of the environment. The vineyards benefit from the region's ideal climate, characterized by warm days and cool nights, which allows the grapes to ripen fully while retaining their acidity and aromatic complexity.
In the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the wine's delicate aromas and flavors. The wine is then aged for a short period in the bottle before being released for sale. This meticulous winemaking process results in a wine that is both refreshing and complex, with a vibrant character that is distinctly Tuscan.
On the nose, Carpineto's Originale offers a bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, with notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, and green apple. On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with a refreshing acidity that balances the wine's fruit-forward character. The finish is clean and lingering, with a subtle hint of minerality.
Carpineto's Originale is a versatile wine that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. It is an excellent accompaniment to seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes. Its refreshing acidity also makes it a perfect aperitif or a wine to enjoy on its own. If you love seafood and pasta, this is your guy. It would perfectly fit to the following dishes: Grilled Shrimp Scampi, Spaghetti Carbonara, Tuna Salad with Lemon Dressing, Baked Salmon with Herbs, or maybe Fried Calamari with Aioli.
As someone passionate about wine, let me assure you that this specific blend isn't simply a beverage; it's an adventure into the unexplored. Forget the usual – embrace the thrill of discovering a wine that dances to its own Tuscan tune. The eye-catching design with the striding men is simply amazing and attracts the attention of everyone - I have to admit that I am not a big fan of white wine. But this specific wine has catched me on the first sip. Buy it - taste it - enjoy it!
