50 & 50 - Tuscan cult wine made from 50 per cent Merlot from Avignonesi and 50 per cent Sangiovese from Capannelle. Bright ruby colour with a fine garnet rim. Elegant, very elegant nose with clear notes of ripe cherries, some blackberry, wonderfully balanced. Full-bodied on the palate, shows plenty of fruit, then develops a densely structured tannin, long final with subtle tobacco and pomegranate notes. SUPERIORE.DE

"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." Vinous

"Flavours of red fruits, cedar wood, mushrooms and bark are followed by a full body with multi-layered tannins and a fruity and crisp finish. Medium to full-bodied. Dense and multi-layered with plenty of variety. A blend of 50% Merlot (Avignonese) and 50% Sangiovese (Capannelle). It needs three to four years to develop." James Suckling
