Carpineto was co-founded in 1967 by wine visionaries, Giovanni Carlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo. The pair set out to produce a world-class red wine from Chianti Classico — a region that had once reigned amongst Kings but had, at that time, fallen from favor amid wine aficionados. 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. This medium bodied blend of Chardonnay, Grechetto and Sauvignon blanc has flavors and aromas of peach, tangerine and lime with acidity and minerals on the finish. Nice on its own or with pesto pasta, green salads, cold anit pasti and seafood.
