Description
Caparzo's 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a Sangiovese-based red from one of Tuscany's most prestigious zones. Brunello demands long aging in oak and bottle, and this vintage shows the varietal's signature structure and depth.
The wine opens with pure dark fruit, black cherry, black berry, and hints of chocolate, that gradually reveal secondary layers of dried flowers, cedar, wild strawberry, and spice as it breathes. The palate is full and focused, with silky, polished tannins that feel refined rather than aggressive. Acidity runs fresh and bright throughout, giving the wine lift and definition, and the finish stretches long with whispers of licorice and violet. This is a wine that will age well, though it already shows impressive dimension and balance. It's worth waiting for in the glass.

Expert Reviews
Pretty pure fruit to this with black cherry, black berry and light chocolate aromas. The palate is full and focused with very polished tannins and a long, long finish. Best after 2027.
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.
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.
