50 & 50 2021 Rosso Toscana IGT Avignonesi & Capannelle MAGNUM

50 & 50 2021 Rosso Toscana IGT by Avignonesi and Capannelle MAGNUM

50&50 TOSCANA I.G.T.
2021
50&50 is a wine born from friendship. The friendship that binds the owners of Avignonesi in Montepulciano and Capannelle in Chianti
Classico, and their shared desire to strive for excellence with their wines.
It was produced for the first time in 1988, almost by chance: during a convivial dinner, the owners of the two companies jokingly compared their wines, mixing them together, until they arrived at the blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot that
we know today. They had created something truly unique.

50 & 50 2021 is an elegant and contemporary Rosso Toscana IGT, born from the meeting of Avignonesi and Capannelle. The name already tells its identity: a perfect balance between Sangiovese and Merlot, in an Italian red wine capable of uniting personality, finesse, and drinkability. It is a bottle that stylishly interprets the Tuscan character, offering a rich yet measured profile, ideal for those seeking a wine with character without sacrificing harmony.

Territory and wine style

The designation Rosso Toscana IGT allows for the free expression of a winemaking project of great balance, enhancing the union between complementary grape varieties. In 50 & 50, Sangiovese brings freshness, drive, and territorial imprint, while Merlot contributes roundness and softness. The vinification in truncated-conical Slavonian oak vats and the aging of about 18 months in barrique help define a refined profile, structured but not excessive, with a wood management designed to accompany the wine rather than overpower it.

Tasting notes

ORGANOLEPTIC NOTES
In the glass, it has a dark and deep ruby red color, with vibrant purple hues. On the nose, it presents a fragrance of small
red fruits, black currant, cherry, and blueberry, which then gives way to harmonious nuances of underbrush and sweet spices like
vanilla and coffee roasting. On the palate, it is satisfying, with sweetness and tannicity perfectly marrying in a wide, elegant, bold, and round taste symphony. Ripe fruit and spices return, and in retro-nasal perception, its balsamic quality emerges, colored by notes of
mint and thyme. The finish is long, and the palate is caressed by a silky and soft tannic texture.

Recommended pairings

50 & 50 2021 pairs with great versatility to flavorful but not overly aggressive dishes. It is excellent with grilled red meats, roasts, beef fillet, lamb, and preparations from Tuscan cuisine. It also expresses well with rich first courses, meat ragù, pappardelle with wild boar sauce, and medium-intensity aged cheeses. Its elegance makes it suitable for an important dinner, where the wine should accompany with class without weighing down the palate.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature for 50 & 50 2021 is between 16 and 18 °C.
