Complex, harmonious, supple.
Only 20 kilometers west of Florence, in Tuscany, Carmignano is a commune in the province of Prato. Capezzana is located here, owned by the Contini Bonacossi family since 1920, it has however been a wine producing estate for centuries.
This blend of Sangiovese with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 10% Canaiolo was aged in 25HL French barrels for 12 months followed by another three months in bottle.
Bruised strawberry and purple berries, floral notes, licorice and sweet spices, leather, balsamic and pipe tobacco aromas lead to a supple and fleshy palate with fine chalky tannins. Balance and structure are all in check.

Absolutely charming.
Notes of mineral, lemon, pine oil, smoke, wild honey, hazelnuts and roasted spice are lifted with ripe guava and melon aromas. The same melon and guava appear on the palate with lemon curds, and sweet spiced nuts. Excellent restraint and persistence, good minerality and acidity to keep it all in check.
Chic.

This charming blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano from the Adriatic Marche region of Italy offers aromas of tart cherries, saddle leather and red currents, dry spices and savoury/herbal/lactic undertones. It's a rustic wine with the acidity to stand up to tomato sauces and the structure for grilled sausages and it has flavours of roasted spices, cocoa, leather and white pepper. Good persistence here but leaner than previous vintages.
