Tasting Notes
Dogajolo Toscana Rosso 2022 is an excellent expression of Tuscany’s diverse terroir.

The oak ageing imparts a graceful maturity, providing a wine that is both approachable and sophisticated, making it a perfect choice for those looking for a high-quality, versatile red.
Food Pairing
This full-bodied red wine pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as grilled meats, hearty pasta with tomato-based sauces, and aged cheeses.

Winemaking
The winemaking process behind Carpineto Dogajolo Toscana Rosso 2022 is a delicate balance of traditional techniques and modern innovation.

Winery | Established in Greve in Chianti in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families, Carpineto farms 500 hectares of sustainably farmed land, spread amongst five carbon-neutral estates in the regions of Chianti Classico, Alto Valdarno, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino, and Maremma. Carpineto holds the VIVA certification for sustainability and is accredited with ISO 14001 and IFS. Formerly IWSC Italian Wine Producer of the Year, Carpineto was the first ever Italian winery 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. Carpineto sustainably farms 500 hectares of land, including 200 hectares of wood. Indeed, their woods and vineyards absorb 26% more carbon dioxide than they produce. Extreme attention is paid to preserving the vineyards' biodiversity. The family adopts modern agricultural methods on both the vines and the soils, and eco-friendly products are applied conscientiously. The vines are grown in the heart of Tuscany in their estate vineyards in sand, clay, and limestone soils, which produce elegant wines. |
