Toscana IGT 2022


Quercus ilex is the Latin name of the holm oak. We have some beautiful specimens growing at the Capezzine Farm, the most majestic being the one just next to our cherished Vinsantaia. We wanted to dedicate a special wine to our beloved Capezzine Farm and we couldn’t choose anything else but the name of this immense, inspiring tree for it.

Complex on the nose. Notes of white flowers and vanilla alternate with hints of pear and grapefruit with a light smoky finish. In the mouth, the entry is broad, decisive and pleasant. The flavours described on the nose return. Surprising for its savouriness but above all for its interminable length.
