Dogajolo Vermentino and Dogajolo Rosato: A Journey Between White and Rosé
A stroll along the seashore; a walk through the countryside; the fragrance of fresh fruit and blooming flowers. These are the first images that come to mind when we think of the warmer seasons. In the world of wine, these thoughts translate into pleasure, brightness, and effortless drinkability. This is why white and rosé wines are so often associated with the awakening of nature—moments when every sensation feels more intense.
These very aromas and nuances define our Dogajolo Vermentino and Dogajolo Rosato. It is a sensory journey that starts with Vermentino grapes and leads to the great classic of Tuscan viticulture: Sangiovese. Join us as we explore the similarities and differences between these two styles—white and rosé—which perfectly express the core characteristics of their respective varieties.
Carpineto Dogajolo Vermentino Toscana IGT
The ultimate expression of Mediterranean freshness and persistence. Our Dogajolo Vermentino tells the story of Tuscany through its most fragrant qualities. Born from vineyards cultivated in the red soils of the Maremma, it pours a clear straw yellow with delicate greenish highlights. This is the prelude to an aromatic profile ranging from dense notes of white flowers to subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs.
On the palate, Carpineto Dogajolo Vermentino reveals a perfect balance between sapidity (minerality) and crispness. It is an ideal match for traditional Mediterranean cuisine or to be enjoyed in good company as an aperitif paired with raw seafood, light tempura, white meats, or fresh cheeses.
Carpineto Dogajolo Rosato Toscana IGT
Here we meet Sangiovese, the sovereign grape of Tuscany. In our Carpineto Dogajolo Rosato, it reveals its most delicate soul without sacrificing intensity or structure. Compared to Vermentino, Sangiovese provides a greater body, though it remains exceptionally pleasant and easy-drinking.
On the nose, Dogajolo Rosato offers intense floral notes—elegant rather than overpowering—ranging from rose and myrtle to vine blossoms. These fragrances pair beautifully with fruity aromas of apple and redcurrant, the primary notestypical of this variety. The result is a full-bodied, well-balanced, yet decisive palate.
Food pairings? Look no further than grilled fish, such as a sumptuous sea bream, or traditional Tuscan dishes like the famous Cacciucco (fish stew) from Livorno. These recipes are ideal for highlighting a wine that surprises with its balance of freshness and complexity.
Dogajolo Vermentino and Dogajolo Rosato. Two wines of immense pleasure and vibrant freshness. Similar in some ways, distinct in others, yet both perfect for those who seek fragrance and elegance in every glass.
