Origin
From the snowcapped Alps to the pristine beaches of
the Amalfi Coast, Italy is a spectacularly diverse and
stunningly beautiful country. But when people think of
Italy, they often picture the olive groves, cypress trees
and hillside vineyards of Tuscany. Located in central
Italy between the Apennine Mountains to the north and
east, and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, Tuscany is
the heart of Italy. Pairings
The wine’s intense berry character and
spice makes it a perfect match for the
exotic spices of Indian or Middle Eastern
food. Yet
its acidity and verve
also
put
it solidly in line for pairings with
classic
Italian
dishes, from bistecca
fiorentina
to
bucatini all’amatriciana.Serve at cool room temperature (64°F).
Winemaker
A partnership between two accomplished
oenologists, Giovanni
C.
Sacchet
and Antonio
M. Zaccheo,
Carpineto
was
founded in 1967 with
the
goal of producing a wine that would
be
considered great not just in the
region,
but in the entire world. The two
pursued
this goal by not only limiting
themselves
to
traditional winemaking
techniques
and a limited
scope of vineyards,
but by experimenting, exploring
and
diversifying. Today
with vineyards
in
several top
Tuscan
subregions and
a
host of varieties,
Carpineto
has succeeded
in becoming one of the world’s
standout
producers of Sangiovese. The Wine
Carpineto is intensely proud of Dogajolo,
which they call a “young Super
Tuscan.”
By that, they mean that it has
similar
character
to
the more high-end
blends
of Sangiovese and Cabernet
Sauvignon
that
captured
the
fascination
of
the world beginning in the 1980s.
The
wine exuberantly displays aromas
of
cherry
and black plum, with backing
notes
of violet, dried herbs and earthy
leather.
It has great concentration and a
long
Cabernet-inflected
finish. Recently Viewed :
