WINE DESCRIPTION

Capezzana Carmignano Riserva Trefiano is a premium red wine produced by the Capezzana winery in the Carmignano appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of primarily the local Sangiovese, with a little of the more international, Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the Trefiano vineyard, which is known for its unique ideal microclimate, warm enough to ripen the thick-skinned Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking process involves extended aging in oak barrels, obtaining Riserva status, and allowing the powerful tannins to integrate for a harmonious wine. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate Super Tuscan styles.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Carmignano Riserva Trefiano from Capezzana is a well-structured Italian red wine.Following a deep ruby color with a garnet hue, the nose is redolent with notes of sour cherry and dried plum strewn with dried herbs. The palate is generous but defined more by the grainy tannins and lean acidity. A complex style with an open texture, and walnut skin nuance it has a long lingering finish. Serve with wild boar ragu or pork and fennel sausages with polenta and enjoy over the next 15 years.
