2019 Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino

James Suckling
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.

Notes
Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is a classic expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most respected estates. Caparzo, known for producing wines that combine tradition with approachability, sources fruit from multiple vineyards across the region, giving this Brunello a balanced and nuanced character. The vineyards, located at various altitudes and exposures, contribute to the wine's complexity, showcasing the diverse terroirs of Montalcino. The 2019 vintage was marked by favorable conditions, allowing the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness while maintaining bright acidity. After fermentation, the wine is aged for around 36 months in a mix of large Slavonian and French oak barrels, which adds structure and elegance without overpowering the purity of the fruit. On the nose, this Brunello di Montalcino reveals inviting aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and wild berries, alongside subtle notes of tobacco, leather, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of red fruit, spices, and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and smooth, with a refined balance between fruit and oak.
