As we told you in the last news we’re starting to give our review on some of the rewarded Carpineto winery wines. The first one to appear is one of the most personal wines of the winery: the Dogajolo Toscano Rosso IGT - Carpineto which has been awarded with the second place by Wine Enthusiast in the list of the “10 Best Tuscan Wines of 20$ or less”. We’re talking about a bottle invented by Carpineto itself, with the aim of giving the birth to a sincere Tuscan wine, adapt both to the immediate consumption and the aging. Made up of mostly Sangiovese with Cabernet, the two grapes are wine made separately and united only in the final refinement in wood barrels, the result is an intense red ruby color wine, which at the sight already shows its freshness. The main perfumes are fruity (cherry above all), but also notes of vanilla and wood with a growing intensity the the passing of the years. The tastes retrace the ones sensed by the nose, with precise and direct flavors, well assisted by a soft and velvety tannin endowed with the right consistency according to the kind of wine. Fit both for red meats but also for lighter recipes as first courses or clod cuts.

During the week end, many times it happens to taste new wines, some of these leave a sign in the senses and mind of the people who taste them, and this is our case as it concerns Grano delle Formiche IGT rosso - Podere Spazzavento. Produced and bottled by the wine cellar Podere Spazzavento, a Tuscan agricultural company dedicated to the production of organic wines both typical as the Chianti Superiore DOCG, the Chianti Riserva DOCG and other more personal character wines as the IGT red wine mentioned before. Grano delle Formiche has been rewarded ad one of the best five red Tuscan IGT wines during the IX edition of the Tuscan wines selection. Produced with 70% San Giovese and 30% Colorino, the prevailing aromas are red fruits, while at the palate the twelve months in barrique stands out, making the tannin pleasant and velvety, with species and tertiary notes as vanilla and cocoa, mid body and great resistance. It is also possible to order it from our shop through the vivino platform.
