The sister winery of Altesino draws on fruit from across Montalcino to craft this delicously approachable Brunello 2019. This is spicy, silky, Brunello with generous red fruit at the core and tannins that lightly grip and acids that support the fruit vs taking over.  As Wine Advocate wrote, “Caparzo is my go-to producer when I'm looking for classic Brunello with a more accessible and immediate personality to pair with pasta or grilled steak.”

For You If:   You're after Brunello to drink over the next decade-plus that delivers plenty of fruit and volume but stays silky enough to work with all kinds of food.

Not For You If:   You're looking for really dark or muscular Brunello or the flavors/textures of small barrels and new oak - this is more elegant than most and more classic than "modern" wines.

“The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens slowly in the glass, yet it is worth the wait as a dusty blend of dried flowers, cedar shavings, wild strawberries, and spice emerges over time. It’s silky and enveloping with fresh acidity and pretty wild berry fruits that gain in sweetness as they travel across the palate. It finishes long and staining yet still lively and spry, leaving a coating of fine tannins and licorice hints that resonate under an air of violet inner florals. The 2019 is a lovely interpretation of northern Montalcino fruit.”

“The Caparzo 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers lively aromas of cherry cola, forest berry and dried cranberry that really pop on the bouquet. The dimension and latitude of the wine is impressive, especially in terms of mouthfeel, and with this bottle you're set for near and medium-term drinking. However, what works best in my opinion is the wine's balanced and much-needed freshness. You get great quality over an ambitious release of 160,000 bottles."
