WINE DESCRIPTION

Capannelle 50 & 50 is a premium Italian wine produced by Capannelle, a renowned winery located in the heart of Tuscany. The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, sourced from the winery's own vineyards in the Chianti Classico together with the Merlot from Avignonesi's vineyard in Montepulciano. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, with a south-facing exposure that ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by a long maceration and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a harmonious blend of fruity and spicy notes, with a full-bodied and elegant character that is typical of the Super Tuscan style.

On the palate, the wine is soft and round with a medium body and moderate tannins. Flavors of red fruit, tobacco, and spice persist through the long finish.
