Marco Carpineti

Marco Carpineti is blessed with real winemaking talent. His wines, made with organic grapes following biodynamic principles (you’ll see horses roaming the vineyards), are a must try. The estate is also interesting because of the rare native grapes it grows, for example the rare Greco Giallo and Greco Moro, and the less rare but still impossible to find outside of Lazio Bellone and Nero Buono. Carpineti also makes one of Italy’s six or seven best sweet wines, called Ludum made with the native Bellone variety, but unfortunately only in very small quantities and it sells out the minute it’s released. Over the last twenty years or so, the Carpineti estate (a beautiful winery worth a visit, by the way) has grown from a very small operation to a much larger volume one today (52 hectares large), but the wines have, for the most part stayed the course. And while I miss the outstanding Moro white wines of the early 2000s (when the blend contained more Greco Giallo than it does today) or the just as memorable Collesanti (100% Bellone) no longer made, it is true that a fine sparkling wine has been added to the portfolio and that wines such as the Capolemole Bianco has never been better.
