The Capezzana Villa di Capezzana appears a bright, intense ruby color in the glass. The nose reveals wild berries, violets, elegant and ample followed by a palate that is elegant with balanced acid. The long finish has an aftertaste of sweet liquorice and coffee.

Enjoy with red and white meat as well as most types of cheese.

80% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 70% in tonneau for 12 months, 30% in big barrels for 16 months. Aged in bottle for at least 12 months.

With vintages dating back to 1925 in their cellar, Villa di Capezzana is the flagship wine of the Tenuta di Capezzana estate and representative of Carmignano's greatest quality. Created as one of the very first protected wine-producing regions in Italy, the history of Carmignano dates back to 1716 when Cosimo III de' Medici granted the area special legal protections which prohibited other regions from using the name "Carmignano" for their wines.  

A tight and rather tannic Carmignano with a medium body, plenty of structure and aromas and flavors of chocolate, walnuts, dark cherries and a touch of smoke. It’s linear and long with muscle, suggesting it needs three to four more years of bottle age. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2028.

An intensely sanguine, mineral nose unfolds with aromas of cracked pepper, chili, top soil, wild fennel, burnt sage and bergamot. On the palate, dark fruit notes brood over more earth and herbs, creating a savory, sanguine density which persists through a lasting finish. -D.C.
