Dogajolo Carpineto 2016 (Red)

John smashed a bottle of this in our warehouse a couple of weeks ago and it smelt so good that Ian had to take a bottle home!

‘Best bottle of wine I have had in ages!’

A brilliant recommendation from someone who almost always drinks white wine!

80% Sangiovese with the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, this style of wine is known as a ‘Super Tuscan’ and it’s easy to see why. Dogajolo combines the power and deep flavours of a young wine, with elegance and balance from oak ageing. Full bodied, yet soft with dark cherry fruit, coffee, vanilla and spice.

Great with roasts, winter stews, tomato based dishes, hard cheese or charcuterie.

Nice label, even nicer wine. This is a so-called ‘Super-Tuscan’ , that contains a blend of Sangiovese (Chianti) and Cabernet Sauvignon . A powerful nose jumps out at you swiftly followed by a densely flavoured palate of cherry, vanilla & spice. Please give it a whirl, it really is a serious bottle of vino. Now under screwcap- whatever next? 

70% Sangiovese / 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

13.0% Alc.
