This wine is deep ruby red in colour. On the nose, there are refined notes of cherry and raspberry that mingle with herbal notes and spice. Structured yet elegant, the Trefiano is soft yet firm with supple tannins and well-balanced acidity. Delicious raspberry, cherry combine with undertones of spice into a long and persistent finish.

The Villa is surrounded by five hectares of vineyards which are located in the Carmignano DOCG. The Villa di Trefiano is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are situated at approximately 200 metres above sea level, facing south, south-east and south-west. Soils are schistous clay with limestone. The 22-year-old vines are planted at a density of 4,440 per hectare and are cordon spur trained.

Fermentation lasted seven days and took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Temperatures did not exceed 28ºC during fermentation. After 13 days of maceration the wine was aged for 18 months in French tonneaux, a mix of new and up to 2-year old oak. The wine spent a further year in bottle before release.

All of the grapes were hand harvested. Fermentation lasted seven days and took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Temperatures did not exceed 28°C during fermentation. After 13 days of maceration, the wine was transferred into French barriques, where malolactic fermentation was completed within one month. The wine was aged for 18 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, of which 10% were new. It remained in bottle for at least a year before release.

Capezzana, situated in the Carmignano zone to the west of Florence, is owned and run by the Contini Bonacossi family, the latest in a long line of owners. In fact, in the archives in Florence, they discovered a contract for the rent of vines and olive groves at Capezzana signed in 804 AD.
