Note di degustazione
Notably rich and voluptuous is the 1999 50&50, a joint-venture wine made with the Sangiovese of Capannelle and the Merlot of Avignonesi in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano zone. Very ripe and sweet on the nose, powerful and spicy in aromatic character, its broad, deep, velvety flavors, with much mocha, tar, and vanilla, widen and expand on the finish in a series of lush, sensual, mouth-filling sensations. Drink: 2005-2018. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900

The joint project of Capannelle and Avignonesi, the 1999 50 & 50 (50% Sangiovese from the Capannelle vineyard and 50% Merlot from the Avignonesi vineyard) may be expensive, but the results are stunning. The opaque purple color is followed by a sweet perfume of espresso, blackberries, black currants, high quality toasty oak, and mocha. This medium to full-bodied, dense, opulently-textured blend possesses copious extract, a boatload of tannin, and a huge finish. For its size and stature, everything is in balance, it just needs time to develop secondary nuances. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020. This is a formidable offering for patient connoisseurs.
