Tasting notes

“From a classic vintage, the wine opens to a darkly saturated color with rich ruby and garnet highlights. Fruit is sourced from a site not too far from the Furba River, from which the wine takes its name. It closes with an open-knit texture, big structure and an accessible style that makes it perfect to drink straight out of the gate.” 93/100, Robert Parker

“Lots of spice and intensity here with chocolate, blackberry and coffee aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish.” 94/100, James Suckling

The producer

Tenuta di Capezzana Carmignano, Italy

Winemaking at Carmignano is almost as old as wine itself — Etruscan artefacts point to vineyards here 3,000 years ago, and a 9th-century parchment records vines and olives on the Capezzana estate over 1,200 years ago. In 1716 Cosimo III de' Medici named Carmignano one of Tuscany's superior wine zones.

Carmignano's growers were blending Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon in the 18th century — long before the 'Super Tuscan' movement made the practice famous. Capezzana, farmed by the Contini Bonacossi family since 1920, is the estate that carries this legacy.
