Who said Super Tuscans have to break the bank? This gem is a super innovative 'baby Super-Tuscan',' baby' because it is far more approachable in it's youth and because it's literally a fraction of the price.
Dogajolo is an amazing preview into all of the hype surrounding super Tuscan blends. Made by the highly coveted Carpineto it combines Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to create a wonderful rich and fragrant red that punches far above it's price point.
So, food and wine pairing aficionados, we’re pleased to let you know that we’ve found the red wine for you. Expect the deep rich fruity flavours of a young wine, with elegance and balance from the oak ageing. It is full bodied, yet soft on the palate with fruity cherry notes interlaced with coffee, vanilla and spice. Delizioso.
