Delicious wine bringing some Italian depth

Opens up nicely with a little airtime and has great grip to stand up to a Wagyu steak. — 4 days ago

The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. Caparzo is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, she also owns Altesino, her signature is on the label! Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas with cedar, herbs and smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate sour cherry, plum & radpberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine slightly drying tannins, long ending with spicy herb oak finish. Nice, drinks well, decant! — 7 months ago

2016. Elisabetta Foradori’s leading teroldego, a grape she has championed from obscurity. Heaven in the mountains. She isn’t called Queen of the Dolomites for nothing. — 4 years ago

Absolutely baller Super Tuscan. Opulent nose, with a palate that makes you want more. Rich black sun soaked fruit with deep tobacco flavor. While still young and a little tannic, time is on its side with a couple of decades of drinkiblity.  — 5 years ago

This is a incredible wine consider its costs and quality! It’s 24 years old and still rocking, and ok it’s one thing to mention I’m for years in love with the winemaker. Those of us who had the privilege to met Elisabetta nows I’m right with my love for her. She’s a star in the region and is the maker of some great white and red wines. This Sono is made of 100% Sangiovese and is a clear and pure wine, it’s wonderful matured and very rich of dark fruit and some dried meat. I’m so surprised this wine survived so well and still has years ahead. Give it time and air and you will be rewarded with a great wine. 94 points and 1 point because I love her! — 5 years ago

2023 vintage.
60 % Sauvignon Blanc, 20 % Petit Mansang, 10 % Traminer and 10 % Semillon.
Let’s all take a moment and look at this blend from Maremma.
All the grapes in this cepage get a chance to play.
Aromatic herbs, bright and citrusy with lemon grass, white pepper with round mouth feel but acidity still kicking in.
5 months in steel tanks with short term maceration i second used Tonneaux.. — a month ago

Wow! Pinot Noir fermented in amphora, inspired by Elisabetta Foradori. Earthy, mineral, a little smoky. — 5 years ago

Such a hard wine to get hold of this was
Not necessarily expensive, but it has such a long story behind that i can't even start
If you know Elisabetta Foradori this guy, mr Zierock, was her first husband and probably not a well mannered either
He was a strong biodynamic Steiner believer for my understanding and i truly thought this wine was going to be just off for some silly reason
On the other hand i find still a crisp fruit, there definitely been skin contact, such a chalky mineral that emphasises the ginger, the smokiness, the honeycomb and the very long after taste
Better when room temperature
I just cant believe that the legend of the Alps mountains has actually delivered so well
Just hope we could all think twice before putting anything else than fermented grape juice into winemaking
A very special bottle i had been holding on for such a long time..a real treasure..exciting emotion!! — 5 years ago

Tried ‘14 & ‘15 together. The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. Caparzo is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, she also owns Altesino. Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas with cedar, herbs and smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate cherry, plum & cranberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine approachable tannins, long ending with spicy oak finish. ‘15 a bit better! — 6 years ago

サンジョベーゼ古酒。
もう枯れている感じもあるので、サンジョベーゼらしさがあるか微妙だけど、変な熟成香はないし、エキスチックで滑らか。

大樽でずっと置かれていたようだが、大きな器で熟成した大らかな味わい。

偉大なワイン感はないけど、熟成ワインがこの値段で飲めるのはありがたい。

Pretty stunning stuff. I can see why people call it the Lafite of Tuscany. Polished but definitely old world. Beautiful nose of pencil lead, cassis and tarry underbrush. Dark, deep, tannic and complex. Needs time and lots of it — 5 years ago

This is a biodynamically-produced Cabernet Franc wine from Costa Toscana IGT, a coastal subregion within Toscana IGT, in Tuscany, Italy. 🇮🇹

Given their proximity to the coast of the Ligurian Sea, the vines likely experienced coastal influences, such as sea breezes and fog. 🌊

Although not native to Italy, Cabernet Franc thrives in this kind of environment with cooling factors and soil comprised of clay, schist, and limestone. 🍷 And while Cabernet Franc typically finds itself playing a supporting role (such as in a Bordeaux blend), with this wine, it’s captivating at center stage. 💫

To help promote the purity of fruit character, the winemaker used a percentage (15%) of whole cluster berries in the fermentation process and aged this wine 10 months in stainless steel, rather than oak. 👌👌👌👌

Ampeleia is the name of the producer, born out of a collaboration among friends Elisabetta Foradori, Giovanni Podini and Thomas Widmann. 💕💕

We’re loving this wine, which is bright, yet structured, featuring concentrated red fruit aromas and flavors, such as ripe cherry, strawberry, kirsch, plum, also bubblegum, violet, dried lavender, wet clay, wet earth, peat, tobacco, and vegetal notes.

Ampeleia, Cabernet Franc, Costa Toscana IGT, vintage 2018, ABV 12.5%.
