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. (6 x 75 cl)

Carpineto FARNITO VIN SANTO Chianti DOC
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. In the old days, wines that were consumed after special meals or by themselves because of their value and organoleptic characteristics were considered 'luxury wines'. Vinsanto was one of these wines, made particularly valuable by the fact that each family's father or grandfather would make their own, following a time honored recipe handed down through generations. Many origins of this wine, and its singular name, have been hypothesized, the truth however is lost in time. One legend from Siena states that a friar from the fourteenth century would hand this wine to the ill and acclaimed for its healing properties. From this the belief that this wine had miraculous properties was born, hence the name 'Santo'. Another possible explanation to the name comes from its use by the church during the mass. From th vineyard to the winery great care is taken in producing this wine. The harvested grapes are dried in wooden boxes then slowly barrel fermented during the winter months. During this time part of the wine was aged in traditional ''caratelli'', small barrels made of chestnut, the other part was aged in oak barrels, all for a total of 16 years. This wine is a golden yellow colour with bronze hues and an intense and complex bouquet with hints of apricot and peach jam, walnut, and typical Malvasia aromatics. There is good balance between the complex, intense balsamic fragrances, the alcohol and the sweetness, while it is long and persistent. Available in 50 cl bottles. (6 x 50 cl) Price: £161.37
