50&50: a blend where Sangiovese and Merlot meet giving a sip of class, acclaimed nationally and internationally. The 50&50 was born precisely out of the friendship and bond between the owners of the Avignonesi and Capannelle wineries, in pursuit of perfection and excellence.

The winter of 1998 was characterized by heavy rainfall, followed by a slightly cooler early spring than in previous years. In May, flowering of the vines occurred evenly and the summer gave sunny weather. The vineyards were thus able to develop under the best conditions, decreeing excellent veraison. With the harvest, grapes were picked in excellent condition, undergoing ripening processes that decreed an excellent homogeneity, as well as the quality that today distinguishes the 1998 vintage of Ornellaia.

2018 represents another successful vintage to extol all the virtues of Bolgheri’s climate: abundant sunshine and not excessive heat that allow the grapes to reach a perfect level of ripeness and concentration. The result is a ripe and opulent wine, as well as intense, aromatic, juicy and brilliant.

The 2019 vintage was characterized by highly variable weather, with periods of cold and rain and phases of dryness and heat. But the end of September saw a drop in temperatures that allowed the grapes to preserve finesse and aromatic freshness, which underwent a soft crushing.
Each variety was vinified separately and the wine remained in temperature-controlled barriques for a period of about 18 months. A slow and genuine process that gives the wine unique notes of quality.
