Tasting Notes & Reviews
"Subtle smoky notes add allure to the robust and energetic 2008. Youthfully vigorous, it is easy to savour now because the well-integrated, fine tannins give it a silky texture. Hints of both red and black fruits combine with mineral nuances in this bold beauty. Harmonious, lip-smacking acidity amplifies the finish and keeps you coming back for another sip." 96/100 Michael Apstein, Feb 2024, Decanter

"The nose is marvelously umami and meaty, while also ripe with plums and blueberries and crackling with pepper. Dark fruit and pepper continue on the palate, with grassy, metallic soil undertones. The acidity is lively around tannins that are firm but not rigid, even if they have time to spare." 94/100, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast
"Black walnut husk, game and truffle chocolate to the plums and dark cherries. Medium- to full-bodied palate with firm and fine-grained tannins that glide through to a juicy, bright finish. Lovely austerity here will help it hold. From organically grown grapes. Drink or keep." 93/100, James Suckling, Nov/2022
The Wine
While the Villa di Capezanna has long been the flagship wine, Trefiano is the single vineyard bottling that has further carried the Capezzana mantle into critical acclaim and popularity. Trefiano is a demanding labour of love from vineyard planting to bottle ageing. The wine comes from focused vineyard selection, dramatically reduced yields, and careful blending followed by long ageing and maturation.
Trefiano Riserva is the riserva bottling from the estate of Capezzana with the super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese with Cabernet and has created waves. It further shows the winemaking finesse of Capezzana. The Riserva, produced in very small quantities is aged about eighteen months in tonneaux before being aged for a further two years in the bottle. The strong focus on organic farming especially, is beginning to show across the portfolio, more so for the Trefiano Riserva.
In a blind tasting in 2016 that we ran in Singapore for Wine Monk customers, to celebrate the visit of Bea from the family, Trefiano 2008, like a child, eager to please, just edged past Tignanello 2008 as the crowd favorite.
That doesn't make us love our Tignanello, any less. But yeah, we do love our Trefiano a lot more from that day onwards.
We asked the producers to part with some stock of the 2008 for our customers to again taste that glory and here these are. Only a very limited quantity now in stock.
