Description
50&50 is a wine sprung from the friendship which binds the owners of Avignonesi in Montepulciano and Capannelle in Chianti Classico. The first vintage of 50&50 was in 1988 and was born as an experiment, almost by chance: during a festive dinner, the former owners of the two wineries started to compare, mix and match their wines and came up with the even blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot, that we know today. They had given birth to something truly unique.
