Dogajolo Toscano Rosso I.G.T.
Grapes
Sangiovese, Cabernet and other varieties.
Vinification
The 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.
Finishing
It is excellent when young, but as with any red wine of good mettle, it ages well.
Color
Deep garnet with violet reflections.
Bouquet
Very fruity and intense, with hints of cherry, coffee, vanilla and spice.
Flavor
Full, soft on the palate, complex, well developed.
Serving Temperature
15-16°C, 59-61°F the first year, 18-20°C, 64-68°F thereafter.
Gastronomy
Given its fruitiness, Dogajolo can be paired with first courses and white meats, but shows at its best with full-flavored dishes such as roasts, grilled meats, cold cuts and Tuscan regional specialty.
