The flag bearer, the pioneer, proudly carrying the weight of the enormous Carmignano legacy of quality wines for centuries, Villa di Capezzana is a true icon. Starting 1925, this super Tuscan blend in many ways had already been around for decades vowing the audience before the wine world became smitten with the super Tuscan movement.
Aged for about 2 yrs, first in French barriques and tonneaux and then in bottles, starting 2015 vintage the vineyards are now certified organic. This is one super Tuscan that brings super joy with every Vintage with its smooth, almost velvety tannins. That it is so marvelously priced, is just a side advantage. Villa di Capezzana is the pride and joy of the Wine Monk Portfolio.
Tasting notes & Reviews
"Plum and dried orange-peel aromas follow through to a full body and tight, firm tannins. Savory finish. Succulent. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but will age nicely. Better in 2020." 93/100 James Suckling Apr 2019
