Winery named after the first owners - the Avignonesi family. Since its foundation, it has experienced an exciting journey. Virginia Saverisa acquired the Avignonesi distillery in 2009. Avignonesi has become a leader in biodynamic viticulture in Italy. Since its acquisition, and thanks to Virginia's respect for the ecosystem, its employees and end consumers, the winery has begun to produce and make organic wines that are truly authentic in their origins.

Avignonesi Toscana IGT 50&50 2020 Rosso presents an elegant bouquet of ripe cherries, dark berries, and hints of tobacco and spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins, showcasing rich flavors of black plum, forest fruits, and a touch of earthy minerality. The wine’s acidity adds freshness, while the finish is smooth, with lingering notes of dark fruit and subtle oak.

This wine pairs beautifully with hearty Italian dishes such as pasta with rich meat sauces, roasted lamb, or grilled steaks. It also complements aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano, enhancing the depth of flavors for a perfect culinary match.
