  • Palate: On the palate, it presents a rich tapestry of flavors, including ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and a touch of spice, underpinned by velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish.

Wine Pairing Ideas: Do ut Des 2018 is versatile with food pairings, excelling alongside grilled red meats, hearty stews, or mature cheeses. Its robust profile also makes it an ideal match for mushroom risotto or a rich bolognese.

Robert Parker (RP) : 94 Points (2018)
This is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot aged in tonneaux for 18 months. The Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino 2018 Do Ut Des (with 25,000 bottles made) is balanced and bright with lots of lifted dark fruit surrounded by a mid-weight mouthfeel. This wine is an absolute pleasure to drink thanks to its balance, concentration, earth, dark fruit and spice.

James Suckling (JS) : 94 Points (2017)
A fresh and balanced 2017 with dark-berry, bark and earth character, following through to a medium body with a solid core of fruit and a juicy finish. Polished tannins with a lovely center palate of fruit. 34% sangiovese, 33% merlot and 33% cabernet sauvignon. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 93 Points (2017)
Tightly wound and austere, with cherry and plum fruit wrapped up in the grip of dusty tannins. This is vibrant and gains finesse as it lingers on the fruit and savory aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2039.
