Understanding Avignonesi & Capannelle, 50&50, Toscana, Tuscany

Each partner contributes their part: Avignonesi supplies the Sangiovese, and Capannelle provides the Merlot. The grapes are hand-harvested from their respective vineyards at optimal ripeness, vinified separately, and then matured in French oak barrels for a year. After this period, the wines are blended to create the 50&50 and then aged for another year in the bottle. This meticulous process results in a wine that brilliantly merges the distinct characteristics of each grape variety and terroir, leading to a Super Tuscan of superior quality. The 50&50 is a fitting testament to the winemaking prowess of both Avignonesi and Capannelle.
