Avignonesi Capannelle 50&50 2020 is a red wine blend from Tuscany, combining equal parts Merlot and Sangiovese. The wine undergoes fermentation separately for each variety before being blended and aged in oak barrels. This meticulous process allows for a complex integration of flavours. Avignonesi, founded in 1974, is renowned for its commitment to organic viticulture and sustainable farming practices. The 2020 vintage showcases the interplay between the fruitiness of Merlot and the acidity of Sangiovese, resulting in a defined profile.
92 Robert Parker
One of Tuscany`s longest-lasting winery collaborations, the Avignonesi & Capannelle 2020 50 & 50 is equal parts Merlot (from Avignonesi) and Sangiovese (from Capannelle). This hot-vintage edition shows loads of dark fruit character on the bouquet, although it is nearly impossible to make out the identity of either one of the two grapes used. Perhaps the warm growing conditions have masked those distinct varietal tones to a mild extent. On the palate, this Tuscan blend shows medium weight and intensity. - Monica Larner

The 2020 50 & 50, an equal parts blend of Merlot and Sangiovese, opens in the glass with an enticing blend of crushed blackberries and dried black cherries accentuated by sweet herbs and a dusting of confectioners' spice. It's soft-textured with a slender blend of ripe red berries, spiced citrus and brisk acidity swirling together as cheek-puckering tension builds toward the close. It leaves a wild blueberry concentration through the finish, showing off its Merlot component as fine-grained tannins linger on and on.
