Capezzana Description

Winemaker Notes

The Trefiano Riserva, made up of predominately Sangiovese alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Canaiolo, is bottled only in the best vintages, and the fruit comes from a five-hectare vineyard around Villa di Trefiano in Carmignano. The vines, who range between 20-25 years old, grow at 180-222 meters above sea level, upon a mix of clay, limestone, schist, and marl. The wine sees a 13 day extended maceration, and full malolactic fermentation before aging for 18 months in French oak, of which 10% is new.

Professional Ratings

95 Vinous

Spicy, intense and full of potential, the 2019 Carmignano Riserva Trefiano lifts from the glass with a burst of white smoke, peppery rose and crushed raspberries. This displays a radiant core of ripe red and black fruits, opening with a grippy sensation as fine-grained tannins saturate the palate. The 2019 finishes with dramatic length and tension, puckering the cheeks while a staining of primary concentration adds a youthful chewiness. While incredibly young, the balance here is otherworldly.

93 James Suckling
This is spiced and a little earthy with ripe dark fruit, hints of cured meat, walnuts and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, slightly tight tannins. Polished and chalky with juicy fruit underneath. Velvety finish. Drink or hold.
92 Wine Spectator
This austere red's black cherry and blackberry fruit is buried beneath its dense tannins. Earth, iron, eucalyptus and tobacco notes are present, and this finishes with a light astringency. The long finish suggests this is closed at the moment. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Canaiolo. Best from 2026 through 2037. 600 cases made, 125 cases imported.
91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Celebrating a 40th anniversary with a special label, the organic Tenuta di Capezzana 2019 Carmignano Riserva Trefiano is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Canaiolo. The bouquet starts off with low-key dried fruit, blackcurrant, soft spice and sweet tobacco. The wine's intensity remains reined-in overall, and it shows a mid-weight texture with some tannic tartness.
