Villa di Capezzana Magnum 1998

The 1998 Villa di Capezzana is a first-class wine from Tuscany, specifically from the Carmignano region, known for its high-quality red wines. The Capezzana winery has a long tradition and produces wines that combine both power and elegance. The 1998 vintage is widely considered one of the best vintages for wines from the region, offering an excellent representation of the terroir.
In the glass, the Villa di Capezzana 1998 displays a deep ruby red color with light brick-red hues at the edges, indicating its maturity. The nose is complex and layered, with aromas of ripe dark berries such as black cherries and plums, complemented by notes of tobacco, cedarwood, leather, and spices. Over time, additional subtle nuances of truffles and earthy notes develop, lending the wine a special depth and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with well-integrated, velvety tannins and a harmonious acidity structure. The fruit aromas are concentrated and ripe, with dark berry flavors blending with notes of spice, tobacco, and leather. The wine offers a balanced texture that combines both power and finesse. The finish is long and smooth, with a fine minerality and lingering fruit flavors.
The 1998 vintage has developed excellently and is within an ideal drinking window. However, it can be aged for several more years to further gain complexity.
