Opening like a veritable spice box, the 2020 Carmignano Villa di Capezzana entices with its autumnal blend of allspice, clove, and star anise before giving way to steeped plums and sage. It’s silky and refined, with supple textures and ripe red and blue fruits that swirl across a stream of vibrant acidity. It leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation while finishing with fine-grained tannins and a staining of primary concentration. Wait a full minute and hints of white pepper still linger. Wow. While richer than usual and easier to appreciate out of the gate, the 2020 is balanced for a long and steady evolution.
2022 James Suckling Top 100 Italian Wines #74. Lovely ripe fruit on the nose, with cranberries, plums, morello cherries, white truffles, red tea and white pepper. The tannins are very fine, creamy and expansive. Coating and generous, yet fresh. Wonderful length and depth. From a 7-hectare parcel of 50-year old vines. Try this from 2025.
Cellar Selection. Beautiful classic aromas of mixed cherries, tobacco, warmed spices and bay leaf enchant the senses. The refined and elegant palate offers a blend of warmed fruit and density, with an earthy, well-structured and mineral-driven finish. Drink from 2025–2045.
Fermented in 60% barrique and 40% large casks, this has understated aromas recalling yellow stone fruit, camphor, field flower and citrus. The elegant palate has layers of subtle depth, featuring dried apricot, lemon drop, tangerine and toasted almond before a tangy mineral close suggesting wet stone. This screams out for food and can accompany the entire meal. Dalla Terra Winery Direct.
