Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino has been, for the past 20 years, one of the leading producers in the southern part of the Chianti Classico region. The Montaperti area (next to Berardenga) is famous for producing very masculine, rustic and powerful Sangiovese. The owners Gioia & Filippo Cresti along with winemaker Carlo Ferrini, created a range of wines traditionally made with innovative character. 15 years ago they planted unknown varieties in Tuscany such as Petit Verdot, Alicante and Gamay getting back fantastic results.

Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino is an organic winery in Tuscany that traces its past back to the 1800's. It is located in the heart of Tuscany, very close to Siena and in the historical commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, at the bottom of the hill of Montaperti where the famous battle between Siena and Florence took place on September 4, 1260. The winery comes from a historical site, where you would find Carpineta (an area with silver-backed leaves) and Fontalpino (the fount with the pine trees of Montaperti).

The winemaker Gioia Cresti recently won the award for 'Best Women Wine Maker of the Year' at the ‘2015 SAKURA Japan Women's Wine Awards'. She is the vineyard's oenologist and a highly sought-after consultant who has worked with many great Italian producers such as Volpaia, Argiano, Col d'Orcia and more.
