The 2012 'Do ut Des' from from Carpineta Fontalpino is a wonderful showing in 2012. Lovely aromas of black fruits, blackberries, exotic spices, mineral and chocolate all come together beautifully in the glass. It possesses a wonderful velvety texture, with great balance leading to the spice-tinged finish that displays terrific length. This will be approachable early with air contact, but it will be even better after a few years. Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon. (Best 2017-2027) - September, 2015 (JD)
