This PRIVATE experience includes:
Supertuscan 50&50 TOSCANA I.G.T.
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 1988 and it was born almost by chance during a jovial dinner and came up with the even blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot.
