2019 Capanna Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 750ML

2019 Capanna Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 750ML

2019 Capanna Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 750ML Bright red. Gorgeously perfumed Brunello that is benchmark of what the Sangiovese grape offers in the denomination: power and finesse. The fragrant aromas of red cherry, violet and graphite speak of the northern slope of Brunello. Then lively and focused in the mouth, with an easy-drinking charm and plenty of energy to the red fruit and sweet spice flavors. The aftertaste is long and perfumed. Drinking window: 2028-2037.

Vinous On 2019 Brunello, “I’m happy to report that the current releases from Montalcino are an embarrassment of riches for collectors and fans of the appellation.”

Kerin O’Keefe On 2019 Brunello, “Never tasted so many drop-dead-gorgeous young Brunello’s from a single vintage.” 2019 Brunello’s are going to rival the finest ever made. Just arrived is the 2019 Capanna Brunello which has got a huge 96pts by Ian D’Agata leading Italian wine critic who used to write for Tanzer/Vinous. D’Agata was recently Named Best Italian Wine Critic and Among the World’s Top Thirty Wine Writers. Only 7 wines got higher scores than Capanna and they were the wines  with huge prices like Poggio de Soto, Salvione and Costanti.

The estate was founded in 1957 by Guiseppe Cencioni, who was one of the 25 founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. Capanna sits above the slope on the north facing portion of the old volcano that is topped by the citadel of Montalcino. These volcanic soils allow longer hang time and gives the wine more concentrated fruit and complexity. Capanna is a standout wine in this great vintage and we strongly recommend.
