The 2017 Capanna Brunello di Montalcino offers a vibrant garnet color with an intense bouquet of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and subtle hints of leather and dried herbs.
On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of firm tannins and bright acidity, delivering a full-bodied yet elegant structure reminiscent of a refined Burgundy in its smoothness and complexity. The wine’s persistent finish is marked by notes of vanilla and a touch of earthy spice, reflecting its careful oak aging. This Brunello showcases the classic depth and longevity typical of Montalcino’s Sangiovese Grosso, making it suitable for aging but approachable now with some decanting.
Serve it slightly below room temperature with rich dishes like grilled lamb or aged cheeses to complement its layered flavors.
