The 2020 Caprili Brunello di Montalcino is a poised and terroir-faithful expression of Sangiovese from a vintage that required precision and patience. The 2020 growing season was marked by early heat and a dry summer, but careful canopy management and Caprili’s high-altitude, ventilated vineyards helped retain freshness and preserve aromatic definition. Yields were moderate, and harvest occurred at optimal phenolic ripeness, resulting in wines with generous fruit, bright acidity, and refined tannic structure. In the glass, the wine displays a classic ruby hue and an open, inviting bouquet of ripe cherry, red plum, wild herbs, rose petal, and crushed earth, with background notes of tobacco, dried thyme, and iron-rich minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic, with supple tannins, linear acidity, and a clean, lifted finish marked by a touch of blood orange and salinity. It is a wine of clarity and balance—neither over-extracted nor underbuilt—anchored in traditi

Located in the southwestern area of Montalcino, not far from the renowned Soldera, this estate is the source of vibrant, full-bodied Brunellos marked by notes of blackberry, licorice and spice. It's a big, broad wine that will definitely benefit from several hours' decanting.
