A deep set of red plums and berries with some fine tobacco leaf and savory herbs, mineral and porcini. Juicy and intense on the palate with lots of chalky, nicely chewy tannins and a juicy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

A slightly brooding red, with firm tannins underlying plum, cherry and earth flavors, while accents of iron and tobacco emerge on the solid finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2027.

The 2015 Carmignano Villa di Capezzana is bright, lifted and full of personality. Sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, sage and dried flowers all grace this juicy, mid-weight wine. The 2015 is impeccably balanced and a joy to taste.

This is the 10 Anni Library re-release of this vintage. This is maturing nicely, with ripe, sweet black currant, blackberry and black cherry core flavors accented by spice, leather, mineral and woodsy flavors. Complex, balanced and long, with an aftertaste echoing the fruit and savory elements. Drink now through 2037. From Italy.

A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from the small Tuscan DOCG of Carmignano, matured for 12-16 months in a blend of tonneaux and botti. Concentrated and spicy, it's full of perfumed dried fruits and violets, with dusty notes of tobacco and earth on the finish.

What a beauty. The Tenuta di Capezzana 2012 Vin Santo di Carmignano Riserva (packaged in a 375-milliliter bottle) inches forth from the tiny bottle slowly and ultimately reveals a spectacular color that is orange, copper and almost green at the same time. I tasted bottle number 962 of a precious 4,968 produced. This Vin Santo puts on a real show thanks to its rich viscosity that slides, shifts and glistens in the glass. There are many aromas to describe, and it is hard to do this wine justice given how quickly they shift and change. There is honey, brown sugar, dried herb, forest mushroom, caramel and tilled earth. I even got a hint of rubber boot. This is a work of art and a clear passion project. Assigning a numerical score to an aspirational wine like this somehow misses the point, but here goes nothing.

Developed ruby with a brownish tinge. Rich, dark fruit on the nose. Peppery and deep with hints of tobacco and orange. This has clearly some age to it, but it is just beginning to reach its peak. Suave, deep, supple fruit with Sangiovese tanginess, while the Cabernet component has a savoury blackcurrant quality to it but poised, rather than upfront. Peppery dark-fruit finish with sandpapery tannins. Not just another Cabernet blend, this has class as well as a personality all of its own and age has resulted in a superb balance between fruit, tannins and acidity and complexity. This will continue to develop for quite a few years.

100% Sangiovese; fermented and aged in barrique. Bright, deep ruby red; aromas of black cherry, black plum and bay leaf. Medium-full, this displays very ripe, forward black fruit, ample wood notes, good acidity, medium-full tannins and very good persistence. This is a modern-styled Tuscan red that favors power over finesse. Perhaps time will help; the wine is well made. Peak in 7-10 years.
