Lightening, bright ruby red colour. Fragrant nose of dried orange zest, rosehips, raspberries, elegant hints of mint, after a little time blueberry confit, precious wood, cold smoke. On the palate with plenty of tannins, earthy undertones, but also well-integrated acidity and beautiful freshness, comes in several waves, patience in the glass.

A jeweled ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is forward with licorice spice on the nose and opens to notes of fresh black cherries, pine, and toasted rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, it offers wonderful energy from the start, with balanced, angular structure, ripe tannins, crunchy fresh acidity, and a long finish. Avery well styled Brunello, it will be in its prime in the coming 10-15 years.
95Points James Suckling
Aromas of redcurrants and red flowers, followed by a touch of pie crust and sandalwood. Full-bodied with steely and sturdy tannins and vivid acidity. Dried-herb character at the end. Masculine and structured. Hold until 2027.

The Capanna 2019 Brunello di Montalcino (with 37,000 bottles made) initially offers a savory combination of aromas with dark fruit, teak wood and bramble. The fruit has a tart side with pomegranate or cranberry that slide into an elegant mid-palate. The wine appears quite direct in terms of its aromatic intensity, and it runs a little hot with a 14.5% alcohol content.
93 PointsWine Spectator
This luscious red is lively and well-defined, bursting with cherry, plum and floral aromas and flavors. The structure is firm, yet there’s fine equilibrium overall, and the finish evokes green tea and almond accents. Best from 2026 through 2040. 3,083 cases made, 900 cases imported.
