2019 'Dogajolo' Toscana Rosso, Carpineto Wine Republic

2022 'Dogajolo' Toscana Rosso, Carpineto

Tuscany, Italy

Carpineto’s 2022 Dogajolo is a baby Super Tuscan with a very easy charm: dark cherry, red plum, blackberry and violet, wrapped in coffee, vanilla, spice and a gentle savoury warmth. It brings together the freshness of Sangiovese with the rounder, darker depth of Cabernet Sauvignon, giving a wine that feels generous without becoming heavy.

On the palate, it is full-flavoured, smooth and nicely balanced, with ripe cherry fruit, soft tannins and a polished touch of oak. The finish is warm, spicy and satisfyingly mellow, making this a brilliant everyday Tuscan red with just enough structure and style to feel like more of an occasion.

For when
Pasta night needs a bottle with a little Super Tuscan swagger.

Pairs with
Tomato pasta, pizza, lasagne, grilled sausages, roast chicken, lamb chops, meatballs, aubergine parmigiana or mature pecorino.

Carpineto was founded in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families, who helped shape the modern Tuscan wine renaissance with reds built on quality, character and regional identity. Dogajolo takes its name from “doga”, the wooden stave used in oak casks, a fitting nod for a wine that combines youthful fruit with soft oak polish. Today, Carpineto works across some of Tuscany’s most important wine areas, bringing the same sense of elegance and reliability to this approachable, modern classic.

Founded in 1967 by Antonio Zaccheo and Giovanni Sacchet, Carpineto farms 500 hectares of land spread over four estates among Tuscany’s most prestigious appellations. The original aim of the producers – to make modern, world-class red wine from the Chianti Classico appellation has been admirably fulfilled. The Farnito and Dogajolo wines demonstrate the winery’s pioneering approach to making wines from international varieties in Tuscany. Formerly IWSC Italian Wine Producer of the Year, Carpineto was the also the first-ever Italian winery to be awarded the IWSC International Winemaker of the Year. Antonio Zaccheo is now assisted by his son Antonio and daughter Francesca, who have both previously worked in the wine trade in the USA. Giovanni Sacchet’s daughter, Caterina, joined the Carpineto winemaking team after finishing her viticulture and oenology degree.

Whole bunches were carefully selected at harvest. The grape varieties were vinified separately, as they reached maturity at different times. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at 25°C, followed by 15 to 20 days maceration with frequent aerations, pump overs and punch-downs of the cap for optimal polyphenol extraction. Towards the end of fermentation they were blended and placed in small wooden casks where they slowly completed alcoholic and malolactic conversion.
