In this never-before-seen video from our archive, James visited Carpineta Fontalpino to taste a selection of wines from the 2008, 2007 and 2006 vintages with oenologist Gioia Cresti. Gioia is responsible for all the production phases at the estate, from winemaking to aging, and she literally picks the best grapes so that each wine is imprinted with her own personal style.
James finds Gioia's wines to be gorgeous with beautiful fruit, finesse and lots of heart and soul, so he was excited for this exclusive visit to the winery. Watch as he lets Gioia know his thoughts on each wine in this tasting.
