    DescriptionDescription  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 colors of a young wine, the elegance and balance given by wood aging, as well as a fruity and fragrant bouquet. Dogajolo is bottled between the last week of March and the first week of April of the year after harvest. It is excellent when young, but as with any red wine of good mettle, it ages well.
    Wine - Food AffinitiesWine - Food Affinities  Given its fruitiness, Dogajolo can be paired with first courses and white meats, but shows at its best with full-flavored dishes such as roasts, grilled meats, cold cuts and Tuscan regional specialty.
    NotesNotes  deep garnet with violet reflections.
    Varietal / GrapeVarietal / Grape  Vinification Technique: the two grape varieties are vinified separately, since they ripen at different times. Toward the end of fermentation they are blended and placed in small wooden casks where they slowly complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.
    RegionRegion  Tuscany, Italy
    WineryWinery  Founded in 1967, Carpineto is a partnership between acclaimed winemakers Giovanni C. Sacchet and Antonio M. Zaccheo. Their original mission was to produce a world-class red wine from the Chianti Classico appellation. This was a radical departure from the marketplace of the times when most Chianti was still produced in the traditional winemaking style.
    YearYear  Very fruity and intense, with hints of cherry, coffee, vanilla and spice.
    BouquetBouquet  deep garnet with violet reflections.
    AlcoholAlcohol  12-12.5% by volume.
