2016 Carmignano 'Villa di Capezzana', Tenuta di Capezzana, Tuscany
2016 Carmignano 'Villa di Capezzana', Tenuta di Capezzana, Tuscany
Tenuta di Capezzana is located in the historic region of Carmignano, located to the west of Florence is run by the Contini Bonacossi family, the latest in a long history of owners. In fact, in the archives in Florence, they discovered a contract for the rent of vines and olive groves at Capezzana signed in 804 AD. The ‘Villa di Capezzana’ Carmignano is made with 80% sangiovese and 20% cabernet sauvignon and is intense, yet elegant and offers so much for its relatively modest price and a wine that can age easily for 15+ years, with bottles dating back over 100 years in their 300 year old cellars.
"Made with organic fruit, the 2016 Carmignano Villa di Capezzana is an 80/20 blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is open and accessible, showing a graceful and pure quality of fruit with dark cherry, blackberry, spice, tar and tobacco. The mouthfeel is streamlined and compact, but what this wine lacks in power it makes up for in elegance. This sample from 2016 was sent along with a bottle from 2010 so that I could track its impressive bottle evolution. In fact, I widened my suggested drinking window after tasting that older bottle. 2020-2030"
