This ruby red wine features a deep garnet hue with age, and is sure to impress even the most discerning palate.
With complex and penetrating aromas of wild berry fruit, this wine is a sensory experience from the moment you open the bottle. On the palate, it is dry, firm, harmonious and delicate, with flavors that dance on the tongue and a finish that lingers long after the last sip.
The Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is a perfect pairing for a wide range of hearty dishes, including roasts, grilled and spit-roasted meats, game, braised meats, and aged cheeses. It is a must-have for any wine lover, and a beautiful addition to any wine collection.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 94:
Lots of rich fruit here with baked blueberries, sliced oranges, spiced cherries, some toffee and lemon verbena. Full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins. Creamy and opulently spiced yet well-integrated and feels weightless. Delicious finish. Drink from 2024.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
Proprietor Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini's signature is featured on the front label of the Caparzo 2018 Brunello di Montalcino. This wine is steady and firm with black fruit, spice, cured tobacco and grilled herb. You get nice concentration and plush tannins in this wine. In a nod to the winemaking team, it also shows a more relatable 13.5% alcohol content. This is good choice from your local restaurant wine list.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 90:
As this red develops, aromas of black cherry, blackberry and wild thyme pick up tobacco and spice flavors. Tips to the dry side in the end, but food will take care of that. Best from 2024 through 2038.
Jeb Dunnuck - Rated 90:
Leading with medicinal herbs, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino opens up to ripe cherry lozenge, menthol, and dried flowers. It is medium-bodied, with dusty tannins and notes of fresh red berries, tea leaf, and dried earth. A straightforward and clean red, it is a lot of value to drink over the next several years.
