The name Dogajolo was invented by Carpineto’s founders, derived from the Italian word doga, meaning “stave” — the narrow strips of wood used to form oak casks. A young wine that boasts fruity aromas with hints of cherry interlaced with coffee, vanilla, and spice. Each varietal is vinified separately in stainless steel in this Sangiovese-based baby Super Tuscan. The blend is briefly aged in oak rendering a medium-bodied red that is soft on the palate with a balanced acidity. Suitable for everyday consumption, Dogajolo is best within a few years of the vintage.
A mix of black currant, cedar, herb and saline flavors matches the dense, lightly tannic structure. Persists on the finish, with lingering fruit. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now. 6,000 cases made.-B.S.
