Description

50&50 is a wine sprung from the friendship which binds the owners of Avignonesi in Montepulciano and Capannelle in Chianti Classico. The first vintage of 50&50 was in 1988 and was born as an experiment, almost by chance: during a festive dinner, the former owners of the two wineries started to compare, mix and match their wines and came up with the even blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot, that we know today. They had given birth to something truly unique.

When in 1377 Gregory XI moved the papal seat from Avignon to Rome, some French families followed him to Italy, one of them, probably for simplicity, began to be called "Avignonesi".

Avignonesi consists of four wine-producing estates: Le Capezzine, I Poggetti, La Selva and La Lombarda. In total they comprise 225 hectares of open ground, 109 ha of vineyards and 3 ha of olive groves. Read more
