50 & 50 2016 Rosso Toscana IGT, Avignonesi & Capannelle

50 & 50 2016 Rosso Toscana IGT Avignonesi & Capannelle

50 & 50 2016 is a Tuscan red wine of great personality, born from the meeting between Avignonesi and Capannelle, two entities that express the best of the territory in different but complementary styles. The blend of Merlot and Sangiovese gives rise to an intense, rich, and harmonious red, capable of uniting structure, softness, and freshness in an elegant and recognizable profile.

Territory and wine style

This Rosso Toscana IGT comes from two symbolic areas of the region: the Merlot comes from the Lodola estate in Valiano di Montepulciano, in southern Tuscany, while the Sangiovese comes from Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico. The union of these two vineyards and these two Tuscan souls creates a modern wine that is deeply connected to the territory, with a contemporary interpretation of fine Italian wine. The manual harvest and careful selection of the grapes confirm a quality-oriented approach, while aging in French oak barriques helps define a refined, complex, and well-crafted style.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense ruby red. The bouquet is rich and articulated, with hints of black currant and sour cherries intertwined with notes of sandalwood, cloves, thyme, and menthol. On the palate, the wine shows a velvety and enveloping sip, supported by ripe fruit, delicate spices, and a balanced texture. The long aging in wood adds depth and finesse, without overshadowing the freshness of the Sangiovese. The finish is persistent and leaves an elegant sensation, with a potential for positive evolution in the bottle.
