2018 Caprili Brunello di Montalcino

Tuscany | Sangiovese

$ 48.99 $ 60.00

"Generous and open-knit, Caprili offers a sleek and elegant Brunello that will wow those who love the silkier side of Sangiovese. But don’t get us wrong - this Brunello is not for the faint of heart. It’s intense with plenty of high-toned red fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and firm tannins. Drinking beautifully now with an hour or two decant, this wine can also cellar for the next 5-7 years."

- Staff Note

"A fresh, herbaceous nose features notes of cherry, blood orange, fennel and mint, with a burst of anise crackling in the background. On the palate, cranberries bring out the tarter side of the blood orange and cherry notes, while a salty stoniness shimmers as an undertone. Acidity drips off firm tannins."

- 95 Points, Wine Enthusiast

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is made with fruit from vines in "cool" schistous galestro soils. It is a soft and silky wine with bright cherry and cassis. The wine plays its best cards in terms of mouthfeel with long, polished tannins and seamless flavors of wild fruit, crushed stone, licorice and grilled herb. There is a hint of crushed white pepper on the close. This wine will appeal to those who enjoy a very silky side to Sangiovese."
