2020 Capezzana - Carmignano DOCG Villa de Capezzana (750ml)

The 2020 Capezzana Villa di Capezzana captures the distinctive profile of northern Tuscany’s Carmignano DOCG through a regulated blend of 80 percent Sangiovese and 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from twenty- to forty-year-old vines planted at 180 to 220 meters elevation on clay, limestone, schist, and marl soils, this organically farmed vintage reflects the region’s classic mineral-driven terroir. The wine pours a bright ruby with a violet edge, offering concentrated notes of sweet cherry, blackberry, and plum complemented by cured leather, pipe tobacco, and wild thyme.

Aged for twelve to sixteen months in French oak tonneaux and large oak casks, the structure remains clean and disciplined, guided by polished tannins and a lingering, savory finish. To balance its moderate acidity and medium weight, pair it with rosemary-roasted leg of lamb, spiced grilled sausage, or sliced aged pecorino. Serving at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius and decanting for thirty minutes will open up the herbal and spice layers immediately. The 2020 vintage is approachable upon release while retaining enough structural tension to evolve favorably over the next four to six years in consistent storage conditions.
