Tenuta di Capezzana 2017 Villa di Capezzana Carmignano

Tuscany Italy
Decanter Magazine 93 Rating
The 2017 vintage was so dry and warm that by the end of September there were 400ml of rainfall registered compared to the annual average of 800-900ml. ‘We were lucky to have 15 hectares under irrigation,’ says Filippo Contini Bonacossi, ‘thanks to the lakes obtained by my father. There we were able to produce outstanding grapes’. Aged partially in large oak, this organic Carmignano – a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon – shines for its richness of fruit with ripe cherry and cassis, clove and carrube spices, then officinal herbs in depth. Broad and powerful, extracted yet crunchy, it shows a fresh yet not overt acidity, with a glycerol-rich texture and a great saline finish. Drinking Window 2021 – 2035.
