Capanna is known for is textbook interpretations of Sangiovese. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a dark and luscious appearance with pretty ruby intensity. The bouquet ushers forth a delicate medley of aromas including wild cherry, cassis, balsam herb and toasted almond. This vintage shows crisp lines and lightweight consistency. Like many of the other wines from this vintage, I'd suggest a near-term drinking window for Capanna's Brunello.

This red finds a compromise between cherry fruit and savory, woodsy and leather notes. Backed by firm tannins, this remains fresh and long, with a mineral element trailing. Best from 2020 through 2033. 1,750 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
