Description

“A black cherry and blackberry flavored red, with light oak spice for accent. It’s both fresh and firm, with an iron note on the astringent finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.” – Wine Enthusiast

This is a very innovative product, a young “Super-Tuscan”, whose characteristics are never found together in the same wine. Dogajolo combines the power and deep colours of a young wine, the elegance and balance given by wood aging, as well as a fruity and fragrant bouquet. Carpineto takes its name from the Greek - Carpos, meaning fruit. The modern day winery was founded in 1967. Since then, the partnership between cofounders Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo has developed an award winning, international reputation for consistently elegant wines with unmatched intensity and extract. The four Carpineto estates encompass 424 hectares of land spread among Tuscany's most prestigious appellations. From the heart of the Chianti Classico region to their extensive Vino Nobile holdings in Montepulciano, Carpineto has garnered a strong global following fuelled by their unique combination of traditional and innovative winemaking.

Carpineto was the first Italian winery to receive the Robert Mondavi Trophy for excellence and has been nominated Best Italian Wine Producer at the 34th International Wine and Spirits Competition.

Reasonable wine, but will not impress the real aficionado
