Villa di Capezzana Carmignano Sangiovese Blend

Yeah.

Red and black cherry, ripe and delicious, currant, leather in a good way, coffee bean, earth, cherry pie, great tannin/acid balance, lovely red fruit on the finish but ends quite dry, acidity keeps it fresh tho, very little green. So so good

The 2017 Carmignano Villa di Capezzana takes its time opening in the glass, at first dusty with dried cherries and only a hint of dusty rose. Yet this is worth the wait, as its berry fruit transforms into crushed plums and raspberries, complemented by sweet herbs, hints of animal musk and flowery undergrowth. It washes dark elegant waves of mineral-tinged blackberries across the palate, offset by a twang of sour citrus, as hints of cocoa and tobacco build toward the close. This is structured and noble in feel, yet with enough primary concentration to nearly mask its grippy tannins, as touches of mint and dark chocolate linger through the medium-length finale. The balance that Capezzana has culled from this torridly hot and dry vintage is remarkable. That said, the 2017 is already drinking beautifully today after a good decant. This is a blend of 80% Sangiovese to 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. (Eric Guido, Vinous. December 2021)

Vintage 2017 | Soesterberg

A gift from a friend..

A whiff of banana chips.
Medium bodied, Mushroom, berry, grape skin tannins, canned olive. Very unique as it is bright, yet still had that - walk through a forest - feel.

Corked!!👎🏻

Lots of secondary and tertiary flavors. Savory mushroom herb and dried cherries- super velvety tannins.

Eccellenze di Toscana 2018

Interesting mix of cab Bordeaux nose and Sangiovese palate. High alcohol - chest burn. Pepper nose but deceptively light body with immense and sultry finish.

Very gritty finish

Black tea, cocoa, wet earth, blackberry jam, black cherry, vanilla. Integrated tannins, med + tannins, velvety finish. Certainly needs some time in the bottle. Excellent DOCG Carmignano!
