Winemaker Notes: Capanna Brunello di Montalcino is a deep ruby red color with garnet hues. The bouquet is ethereal, with notes of red fruit and vanilla. The harmonious palate shows excellent tannins and structure, with a very persistent finish.
Press Reviews
The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino is ripe with cherry leather, a bit of umami with dried shitake, and licorice candy. It is medium-framed but has elegant concentration, with wild strawberry, fresh herbs, and lavender. It is a very attractive wine to drink 2024-2036.
A classic Brunello nose features aromas of cherry, orange peel, soil and graphite, along with a fresh burst of fennel and mint. The cherries, soil and bitter orange notes define the palate, but a sprinkling of anise brings subtle, pleasing spice. Acid flows over round, smooth tannins like a river polishing stones.
Sour cherries, lemons, dried roses, porcini mushrooms and rosemary on the nose. Medium-bodied, bright and savory, with tasty layers accompanied by fine tannins. Excellent freshness. Drink from 2024.
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows an open quality that is a little oxidative in character. This is a very accessible wine with a strong 15% alcohol content. It is best consumed in the near term. Like many other Brunellos from this vintage, I would not put my money on long cellar aging times. There is concentrated fruit, with dried cherry, blackcurrant and fresh acidity. The bouquet is also redolent of old spice, tar and leather.
