About Professional Wine Ratings

A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine. Professional wine rating scores from a wide range of critics, for example Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, are usually adjusted for the 100-point scale. A mean of these scores is presented for specific vintages of a wine, as well as across all vintages.

About The Wine

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. RP

Food Match

A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.

The subtle savoriness with some orange zest and baking spices give complexity to the steely, mineral nose. Full-bodied on the palate highlighted by its immaculate texture with firm, fine-grained tannins. Long, nicely savory and mineral finish to close. JS
