This 1999 Sangiovese from Avignonesi's Capannelle vineyard represents the expressive terroir of Montepulciano, where the variety finds its classical expression in Tuscany's limestone-rich soils. At over two decades of age, the wine has evolved into a measured, tertiary complexity, displaying the refined structure and subtle tannin development that characterise mature Sangiovese of provenance. The modest alcohol of 13.5 percent reflects the vintage's balance and vintage character rather than extraction. Serve this wine alongside aged Pecorino Romano or a slow-braised beef preparation, where its evolved palate and silken texture will complement rather than dominate the table.
