Capezzana Ghiaie della Furba 2020
This wine originated in 1979 from the idea of Ugo and Vittorio Contini Bonacossi, who wanted to produce a wine with a Bordeaux blend in Carmignano, near Prato, Tuscany. The first vineyard, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot was on the gravelly alluvial soil of the Furba stream, from which it takes its name. In 1992, Cabernet Sauvignon wine came into production thanks to the Sant'Alessandro vineyard. In 1998, Syrah was added.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

Broad, complex, elegant, fine, sweet, and fruity with intense spicy notes.

Flavour

Sweet, firm and full-bodied, quite opulent with dense and sweet tannins, well-balanced acidity perfectly combined with texture, fat and body of the wine. Long finish with persistent fruitiness of wild berries combined with intense and complex spicy tones.

Pairing

It pairs well with all meats in general and cheeses.
