Description

Avignonesi & Capannelle 50&50 Toscana IGT 2016
Critics, industry people, and wine-lovers agree that 2016 gave Tuscan wine fans a glorious vintage, and the 2016 50&50 is drop-dead gorgeous. Fistfuls of rich black cherries and bright cassis wrap in a savory blanket of saddle leather, balsamic herbs, warm loam, smoky wood, and peppery spices. Ultra-silky tannins complement the wine’s driving, vibrant acidity; terrific complexity loads the mid-palate; and the finish lingers wonderfully! Half Sangiovese and Half Merlot that’s aged in barrique, 50&50 is a collaboration between two winemakers, Avignonesi in Montepulciano and Capanelle in Gaiole — this is one of the last great cult Super Tuscans!

Producer Profile

About Avignonese & Capannelle
The 1988 vintage saw the first bottling of 50&50, a joint venture between two Tuscan wine estates, Avignonese and Capannelle. Owned by Virginie Saverys since 2009, Avignonesi is a biodynamic Montepulciano wine producer with history dating to the fourteenth century. Avignonesi now spans more than 430 acres of vines, all tended with biodynamic agriculture in order to nurture both today’s wines and those of the future. Capannelle, Avignonesi’s partner in the creation of the iconic 50&50 bottling, is much newer, dating to 1974, when Raffaele Rossetti founded the estate on the grounds of a fifteenth-century farm. Today, Capannalle, owned by hotelier James B. Sherwood, spans close to 50 acres in Gaiole, Chianti (40 under vine), and crafts a full range of traditional Tuscan products.

Grattamacco

Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore 2019 750ml

Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso Superiore 2019 Grattamacco’s flagship always punches above its weight, and in 2019 the estate’s Bolgheri Rosso Superiore feels rich and juicy, and it crackles with... energy. Brambly berries and crisp red fruits layer with balsamic herbs, peppery spices, melted dark chocolate, black licorice, warm earth, and kisses of oak and vanilla. Tannins are tight yet silky; acidity is perfectly balanced by sweet fruits; the 2019 Grattamacco, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese, is approachable upon release, but your patience will be rewarded with time.

Le Mortelle

Marchesi Antinori Ampio delle Mortelle Toscana IGT 2017 750ml

A blend of Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Ampio from the Antinori family’s Le Mortelle estate marries open-knit generosity with freshness and structure. This knockout... wine puts the warm vintage’s best qualities in the spotlight, with super-ripe red and blue fruits dancing on a bed of Mediterranean scrub, black licorice, grilled herbs, melted chocolate, and espresso. No doubt that the 2017 Ampio is luscious, but its full-throttle sexiness is matched with serious tannins and that trademark Antinori finesse. Fewer than 370 cases made of this gorgeous Super-Tuscan wine.

Fontodi

Fontodi Flaccianello IGT 2018 750ml

Fontodi Flaccianello IGT 2018

DVNO usually shies away from mentioning critics’ scores of Italian wines because they’re often wrong, to put it bluntly, but the... near-universal near-perfect ratings of the 2018 Flaccianello show critics can get it right. The child of rollercoaster weather and terrific winemaking skills, this Flaccianello is a riveting wine with perfect balance, outstanding aromatics, and brocade-like texture. Pure wild berries and ripe cherries play against a backdrop of new leather, cigar smoke, iron ore, violet petals, and licorice in this jaw-dropping wine. Intense dry extract finds an elegant acidic lift, while velvety tannins add structure. This wine will stun for decades to come!
