Avignonesi 50&50 Toscana I.G.T. 2019 Magnum

50&50 has a deep, dark ruby red color with purple hues. In the nose it shows a fragrance of small red fruits, black currant, black cherry and blueberry which then leave room for harmonious nuances of undergrowth and sweet spices such as vanilla. In the mouth it is satisfying and sweetness and tannins are perfectly combined in a wide, elegant, decisive and round taste symphony. Ripe fruit and spices return and the aftertaste releases its balsamic mint and thyme. The finish is long and soft.

The Good Wine Industry

The company’s mission is to assume leadership in the context of the “good wine industry”. An ecosystem built on organic and biodynamic agriculture, sustainable distribution systems and consumer education. We work transparently and by innovating, driven by a very long-term view. The development of Avignonesi, founded on the production of wine, also extends to our Hospitality.
The Ancient Greeks would have defined a similar approach to the wine industry with the words kalòs kagathòs: literally, the beautiful and the good. The portrayal of an idea of indivisible beauty and goodness. Virtues that speak of a profound coherence of soul, uniting qualities that if separated could not have existed. To be “beautiful” (kalòs) one had to “also behave well” (kagathòs). An ancient concept that encapsulates Avignonesi today: working with determination to act in a noble way, as well as being producers of Nobile.
Placing high-level products and services on a global market, respecting people, the land and the community of Montepulciano. A constant search for excellence and, in addition to quality, delight, in perfect harmony with the promises made to customers and end-consumers, through distribution channels and hospitality, which are not just empty words.
The level of attention paid to the impact of the Avignonesi Group has become foundational to build our company culture. A long journey that began in 2009 and was formalized in 2021 with the recognition of Benefit Corporation. Generating value, acting coherently, mitigating impact and safeguarding an organic and biodynamic approach is the only path that Avignonesi recognizes as effective.
