2000 Avignonesi-Capannelle 50/50 Toscana IGT

Still young. Dark color, elegant nose. Fresh bouquet of dark berries, nicely integrated wood. Not overly opulent, more elegant, more Bordeaux than Napa. Will hold a couple of more years.

Wow! A great example of how Super Tuscans can age gracefully, resulting in a velvety complex wine. A blend of 50/50 Sangiovese and Merlot. Plum, fig, leather, purple cherry, soft vanilla, dark chocolate, blackberry, medium to full body, superb long smooth finish

Really not much nose nor flavor after it’s been open 1/2 hour. Unimpressive. Both tasters same feedback. Wouldn’t add this to the cellar.

Opened on a Friday. Sour cherry, strong earth notes though elusive - comes on strong and then hides away from your nose, probably because of the blend of merlot, which gave a very plush and soft mouthfeel. Other darkish colored fruits. Good to drink now. Notes vanished after in decanter for 4 hours, but it was a good thing we only decanted 1/3 and drank most of it.

Can't say it's bad, but not good either, simple if I may, red fruits and some sweet spice and oakiness, I would expect more at this price point. Much better with food though. That's the second Merlot + Sangiovese blend I had tried recently, both not really palatable to me, so it may be my own discretion, but still, that's my honest opinion.

Excellent food wine. Nice berry flavors are balanced out by a bit of tannin and quite a bit more acidic structure than one might expect. Opened well over several hours of drinking. It doesn’t feel like there’s much of a hurry to this—that acidity should hold up for several more years.

Medium ruby color. Fresh aromas of cherry, blackcurrant and some wet earth. Full bodied with smooth, mouth coating tannins and fresh acidity. A long finish that remains fresh.

Quite smooth, perhaps a tad too much to retain my interest.

Thanks to our somm buddy Nick, I hunted down this wine and enjoyed it tremendously one evening in Siena, Tuscany.

50&50 is a blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot. In fact this modern icon was born from the friendship which of the former owners of Avignonesi (Merlot) in Montepulciano, and Capannelle (Sangiovese) in Chianti Classico, between beautiful Florence and stunning Siena.

Purchased this at a really nice and well stocked wine shop in a back alley, Il Bargello at Via di Città, 55, 53100 Siena, with an English speaking Sommelier-level staff, and paid about USD 110 for this bottle.

Ripe red fruits on the nose with fresh vanilla, then cassis notes with a long finish. Limited run 21 K bottles only, wonderful!

Deep garnet in color. Aromas of dried fruit, leather, and mushrooms. Wonderful balance of deep, rich fruit, and robust tertiary flavors. Black cherry, dried apricot, mushroom, leather, forest floor, and licorice. Silky tannins and welcoming acidity give way to a plush, enduring finish. Drinking beautifully right now! Strikes a wonderful balance of primary and tertiary notes.

Gorgeous medium ruby color. Delicious raspberries and cream on the nose with modest black raspberries and alcohol on the back end. Notes of pleasantly sweet and slightly acrid raspberries, pomegranates, and cranberries. Light-bodied with strong acids. Very pleasant and an excellent food wine; it paired equally well with scallops and a chili cheeseburger. A touch of vanilla cream with fresh raspberries on the finish. Delicious.

Intoxicating nose of black and red forest fruit, spices, smoke, oak, chocolate and wet earth. High acidity dominating on the palate leaving an impression of a relatively short finish. Probably needs more time and this is a very good wine but not outstanding in my opinion.

Hmm nice wine, been cellaring for a while, brought home from Italy work trip in early-mid oughts. Cork crumbled but wine is good. Color still vibrant with some (but minimal) bricking. Nose has a bit of petroleum jelly up front tho it faded w/ time, rich fruit at the beginning, bit of eucalyptus, black berry. Nose richer than palate, which I like. Still juicy mouthfeel with great acidity, tart dark berries, cherry, and a long mouthwatering finish; still tannins but not obtrusive, hint of sawdust. There’s also a hide and seek hint of sweetness that I can’t pin down. Overall I love this.
Edited to add - this has a lot of life left, if you have some, no rush.

Needs some time to breathe, but opened up nicely.
The wine looks ruby colored. There is no sediment in the bottle.

De-cantered for 2 hours +. Solid Tuscan yet had some softness. Little sharper than expected on the back end. Dark ruby in colour, did not taste as much of the fruit roundness as I was hoping for. Chewy.

Medium red color. Aromas of black cherries, raspberries, leather and vanilla oak spices. Ripe, nicely balanced fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. Grippy and structured on the palate. A delicious wine that probably would have benefitted from another 3 years of bottle age but not a good value.

Bought in Brick red with mountain laurels, subtle violet, fresh cut cedar, blueberry, tart red fruits, fig, balsamic and chalky tannins. We love Avignonesi and tried this wine initially in Ravello at one of our favorite places. We brought a few bottles home and now are wishing we had more. Drinking incredible!

p.s. bacon-wrapped, grilled chicken breasts stuffed with jalapeños, red onion and cheese paired with grilled asparagus and cauliflower stir fry rice.

Marqué avec le bois à l’ouverture, le vin a trouvé son équilibre après 7 heures d’aération. Robe rubis à reflets tuilés mais tanins bien intégrés avec une belle maturité.
