From: Tuscany, Italy

Varietals: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

The Capezzama estate is located 12 miles west of Florence in the Carmignano sub-zone, one of the oldest recognized wine-producing areas in Tuscany. Ancient Etruscan artifacts have shown that grapevines were cultivated in the area for wine production over 3,000 years ago. In 2009, Capezzana began farming organically and achieved official certification for the vineyards and wines in 2015.

Tasting Notes:  "This is polished and beautiful with flower, dark fruit, and stone character. Full body, integrated tannins, and a refined and persistent finish. Some black truffle character in the aftertaste. Classy wine." –James Suckling, 93 points

"This balanced, harmonious red delivers black cherry and blackberry flavors, along with earth, leather, and tobacco accents. Firm and taut, yet fresh, with a hint of mineral. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2025." –Wine Spectator, 90 points

Pairing: Outstanding served with roasted or grilled red meat, lamb, polenta, mushroom risotto, and semi-hard cheeses.
