Carpineto was founded in 1967 by Antonio Zaccheo and Giovanni Sacchet, They now farm 500 hectares of land spread over four estates among Tuscany's most prestigious appellations. The original aim of the producers – to make modern, world-class red wine from the Chianti Classico appellation, has been admirably fulfilled. The Farnito and Dogajolo wines demonstrate the winery’s pioneering approach to making wines from international varieties in Tuscany. Carpineto was the first ever Italian winery to be awarded the IWSC International Winemaker of the Year.
