Capezzana “Villa di Capezzana” Carmignano is a distinguished wine that embodies the rich heritage of the Contini Bonacossi family estate, with winemaking roots tracing back to the Medici era. The estate's first bottling occurred in 1925, and it has recently achieved organic certification.
Wine Characteristics
This wine is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in French Oak, followed by a minimum of one year in the bottle. In the glass, it showcases an intense ruby hue and offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including sour cherry, raspberry, violets, spice, savory herbs, and subtle tobacco notes.
Tasting Notes
The palate is silky, underpinned by firm acidity and polished tannins, leading to a long finish with hints of licorice. This wine is best enjoyed after a half-hour decanting, allowing its full character to emerge.
Food Pairings
Pair it with grilled or roasted red meats, aged cheeses, or rich pasta dishes to enhance your dining experience. Savor it slowly to appreciate its depth, structure, and the storied provenance from one of Tuscany’s oldest estates.
Please drink responsibly.
