Carpineto

What Carpineto does

Carpineto S.r.l. is a privately held, family-owned Tuscan winery founded in 1967 in Dudda, Greve in Chianti, and operated continuously by the Sacchet and Zaccheo founding families. The company cultivates approximately 500 hectares of estate land across five appodiati (Dudda, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Gaville, Gavorrano) covering Tuscany's three most prestigious DOCG appellations — Chianti Classico, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Brunello di Montalcino — along with the Farnito Super Tuscan and Dogajolo accessible lines. Annual production totals approximately 3 million bottles across 30+ labels, with roughly 95% red wine output aged three or more years before release in French and Slavonian oak. The winemaking program applies indigenous yeast fermentation, controlled malolactic fermentation, cold and carbonic maceration, and barrique aging, techniques the founders pioneered in modern Tuscan enology.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model anchored on direct-to-consumer wine sales via carpineto.com and the LetitWine by Carpineto sub-platform, supplemented by a secondary revenue stream from on-site enotourism (tastings, vineyard tours, museum visits at EUR 35-75 per experience) and a B2B tour-operator channel. Distribution extends to 70 countries, with prices ranging from EUR 11 (Dogajolo entry tier) to EUR 330 (library Brunello vintages). Bottles are sold under sub-brands including Dogajolo, Farnito, O'riginove, Cru Appodiati, and Chianti Castaldo.

Operational infrastructure includes a 150kW photovoltaic system, historic vitrified concrete vats at the Dudda estate still in active use, and an underground aging cellar with one-million-bottle capacity maintained at 15-17°C. The company is carbon-negative, absorbing 26% more CO2 than emitted across its production processes, and holds VIVA (2022), ISO 14001 (2025), IFS (2025), and ISO 9001 certifications. The May 2025 inauguration of the Le Macchine del Vino corporate museum at the Montepulciano estate, integrated into the Fondazione Musei Senesi institutional network, signals diversification into cultural tourism alongside the core wine business.
