| Description: |
|
Founded in 1967, Carpineto is a partnership between acclaimed winemakers Giovanni C. Sacchet and Antonio M. Zaccheo. Their original mission was to produce a world-class red wine from the Chianti Classico appellation. This was a radical departure from the marketplace of the times when most Chianti was still produced in the traditional winemaking style. Carpineto's visionary founders knew the untapped potential of the Tuscan landscape to produce truly great wines. By applying modern viticulture and winemaking techniques, they dramatically exceeded the quality standards of the day. Under their direction, Carpineto developed an award winning, international reputation for wines of matchless intensity and extract, as well as consistency vintage after vintage. Dogajolo is a young 'Super-Tuscan' made from traditional and international varieties, Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an innovative wine, a young 'Super-Tuscan', whose characteristics are never found together in the same wine. Dogajolo combines the power and deep colors of a young wine, the elegance and balance given by wood ageing, as well as a fruity and fragrant bouquet. The two grape varieties are vinified separately, since they ripen at different times. Toward the end of fermentation they are blended and placed in small wooden casks where they slowly complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. This Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend shows youthful vigour, smoothness and a fruity, fragrant bouquet. The palate is full and soft with notes of cherries, vanilla and spice complemented by the great finish. Available in Jeroboam bottles. (1 x 3 Litres)

La Spinetta SEZZANA Rosso Toscana IGT
Description: The Rivetti family story begins in the 1890s, when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather of the three Rivetti brothers, Carlo, Bruno and Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians of that time, he dreamed of returning rich and a powerful man, perhaps even one day able to make a great wine in his homeland. He never did, though his son, Giuseppe did. Pin married Lidia, bought vineyards and began to make wine. In 1977 the family took up residence at La Spinetta in Castagnole Lanze and still run the estate today. The Sezzana Estate was purchased in 2001 to produce wines of great flavour and character. Great care and dedication is taken to produce this 100% Sangiovese wine that has spent 12-14 months in new french Oak before being transfered to stainless steel vats for 3 months. Finally, without any filtration or clarifying, it is aged another 3-4 months in the bottle. This has produced a dark ruby red coloured wine with scents of ripe berries, vanilla and coffee while the influence of oak is evident. Full bodied with sweet tannins the impeccably balanced wood and acidity deliver through to the long fine finish. (12 x 75 cl)
