Tasting notes

"This excellent wine is a relatively good value for the quality. Intense aromas of berry, spice and pepper follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a rich finish. Best after 2004. 5,800 cases made." — 91/100, James Suckling, Oct 2003

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.
