How it tastes
Straw yellow with a green glint, and pleasantly fruity, elegantly aromatic and harmonious on the nose. Medium-bodied, with agreeable acidity and a dry, softly velvety finish — 40% Chardonnay, 30% Grechetto, 30% Sauvignon Blanc.
The producer
Carpineto was founded at Greve in Chianti in 1967 by the Sacchet and Zaccheo families and now farms 500 hectares across five carbon-neutral estates in Tuscany, with Caterina Sacchet on the winemaking team. Dogajolo Bianco comes from the coolest corner of the Vino Nobile estate at around 300 metres, on clay-rich soil where big day-to-night temperature swings keep the flavours crisp and the acidity bright. The grapes are destemmed and the chilled juice given a brief spell on the skins, then fermented cool, racked straight off, filtered and held at low temperature to keep the fruit at its freshest — no fining agents, no animal products. The estate holds VIVA sustainability certification.
Food and drinking
Good with seafood, salads, and poultry and pork. Made for drinking young, so enjoy it over the next couple of years. Serve well chilled at 10–12°C. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
