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 deep set of red plums and berries with some fine tobacco leaf and savory herbs, mineral and porcini. Juicy and intense on the palate with lots of chalky, nicely chewy tannins and a juicy finish. From organically grown grapes.
A primarily salty, earthy and herbal nose also has sweeter aromas of wild fruits to provide balance. Darker fruits highlight the palate as black cherries dance with mulberries and blackberries, while a peppery earthiness keeps things interesting. The acidity is spirited around rigid tannins.
A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Carmignano’s leading estates, matured for 12-16 months in a combination of tonneaux and botti. Concentrated and spicy, it’s full of perfumed dried fruits and violets, backed by dusty notes of tobacco and earth on the finish.
Youthfully poised with dusty rose, dried black cherries and a burnt orange zest forming its bouquet. This washes across the palate with silky textures and ripe red fruits, gaining tension through a mix of saline-tinged acidity and sour citrus notes. Its tannins come on strong through the finale, coupled with a saturation of primary concentration and mineral tones as petty inner florals slowly fade. The 2019 is packed full of potential but will require patience. —E.G.
A slightly brooding red, with firm tannins underlying plum, cherry and earth flavors, while accents of iron and tobacco emerge on the solid finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2027. —B.S.
