Brunello di Montalcino Caprili 2017

The Winery

The Caprili estate established in 1965 and it is located in the southwest part of the municipality of Montalcino.  Because of this location and the clones that they first planted in1965, the vines show great resistance to heat and disease. They only use grapes from their own vineyards and the only treatments used are copper or sulphur based. The natural yeasts, found on the grapes themselves, is favored. Terroir is very important and the use of natural yeasts contributes to a more precise territorial identity. Vinification follows a natural process avoiding the addition of yeast and other exogenous correctors. The Rosso and the Brunello are all aged in large 22 to 63 HL Slovenian oak barrels.

Brunello di Montalcino Caprili 2017

Deep ruby color with notes of crushed berry, tobacco, licorice and eucalyptus.  The flavors follow the nose, but this is so smooth and elegant. Very elegant tannins that are wonderfully integrated.  Long, long finish that just sits on your palate.  This is great now, but I think it will be even better in 3-4 years.
