Why shop with us?
Capezzana Carmignano Riserva 1988 is a classic Tuscan red that reflects the long tradition of Carmignano, one of Italy’s historic wine zones. Made from Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Canaiolo, it combines regional character with the added depth and structure that have made this style so admired over time.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color that suggests both maturity and vitality. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with aromas of ripe fruit, spice, and leather leading the way.
On the palate, it is full-bodied, complex, and well balanced, with lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and a long, persistent finish. Its structure and harmony suggest excellent aging potential, though at this stage it is best appreciated as a beautifully evolved mature wine.
Production
This wine comes from Carmignano in Tuscany, a historic area known for blending Sangiovese with international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are typically harvested with care to preserve balance and ripeness, then the wine is vinified and matured for at least 24 months in oak barrels, which adds complexity, texture, and elegant spice.
Food & Serving
Capezzana Carmignano Riserva 1988 is an excellent match for game, beef, and mature cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C to show its full aromatic range, and consider decanting if the bottle shows any sediment or if you want to open up the wine’s more subtle layers.
