Description
50 & 50 2017 IGT Toscana Avignonesi e Capannelle from 5 Liters Imperial
The 50 & 50 2017 IGT Toscana by Avignonesi and Capannelle in 5-liter Imperial format is a Tuscan red of great personality, designed for those seeking elegance, balance, and a significant presence at the table. Born from the meeting of Sangiovese and Merlot, it expresses a modern style but is deeply connected to the character of the territory, with refined drinkability and a structure capable of accompanying important dishes.
Territory and wine style
The Rosso Toscana IGT designation allows for a free and creative interpretation of the blend, here constructed in equal parts between 50% Sangiovese Capannelle and 50% Merlot Avignonesi. The 2017 vintage and the aging of about 18 months in barriques contribute to defining a harmonious profile, rich yet measured, where the Tuscan matrix of Sangiovese intertwines with the roundness of Merlot. The result is a wine with a contemporary personality, but with roots clearly recognizable in the great Italian red.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a bright ruby color. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of violet, rose petals, cherry, and red fruits, with a clear and seductive aromatic profile. On the palate, it impresses with elegance, freshness, and silky softness, supported by a velvety and sweet tannin. The taste structure is round, balanced, and satisfying, with a long finish that invites another sip. It is a well-bodied red, fine and relaxed, capable of combining intensity and precision.
Recommended pairings
The 50 & 50 2017 IGT Toscana pairs naturally with wild game, roasts, red meats, and aged or structured cheeses. Its softness and freshness also make it suitable for rich but not overly spicy preparations, such as braised dishes, oven-baked fillets, and traditional Tuscan dishes. The 5-liter format makes it ideal for convivial gatherings, celebratory dinners, and occasions where wine becomes a central part of the moment.
Serving temperature
Serve the 50 & 50 2017 IGT Toscana at a temperature of 16-18 °C. If possible, it is helpful to uncork the bottle a little in advance to enhance the aromatic expression and harmony of the sip, especially in the large format.
