Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2033, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Feb 2023

The Avignonesi & Capannelle 2018 50 & 50 is equal parts Sangiovese and Merlot aged in a combination of botte and barrique. This 30,000-bottle production represents a collaborative effort between two of Tuscany's headline wineries, one located in Chianti Classico and the other in Montepulciano. The results show austerity, dark fruit and Old World elegance. Dark cherry and dried blackberry cede to spice and toasted oak, and mineral hints of campfire ember and pencil shaving add definition and focus.

The crushed-stone and currant aromas are very attractive. Hints of cedar, too. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, polished tannins that run the length of the wine. Tight and polished. This needs three to four years to open. Try after 2025.
