This full bodied red offers complex notes of ripe fruits and berries along side more savory notes of wood and leather coming through with age. Capatosta (meaning stubborn or hard headed) is a fine Morellino consisting of Sangiovese(85%), Ciliegiolo(10%), and Alicante(5%). The grapes come from 40-year-old vines on the coastal hills of southern Tuscany, Maremma, offering a new experience for fans of the Sangiovese varietal. In the glass it is a rich and deep burgundy red. The nose offers up aromas of leather, black cherries and violet. The Palate is rich and layered with dark berries, cherry, tobacco and an underlying spiciness balanced by robust tannins and bright acidity. Try pairing it with Red Meats, Meat Pasta Dishes, Aged Cheeses and Pizza.

We recommend decanting this wine for 30 minutes before enjoying.
