With vintages dating back to 1925 in their cellar, Villa di Capezzana is the flagship wine of the Tenuta di Capezzana estate and representative of Carmignano's greatest quality. Created as one of the very first protected wine-producing regions in Italy, the history of Carmignano dates back to 1716 when Cosimo III de' Medici granted the area special legal protections which prohibited other regions from using the name "Carmignano" for their wines.

Wine Spectator Review:
This red is expressive, with ripe cherry, raspberry, floral and wild herb flavors married to a supple texture. Well-structured and balanced, leaving a long, fruit-, iron- and spice-tinged aftertaste, with fine grip on the finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2040. 6,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.
