Capanna Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2018 

Tuscany, Italy

93 pts.Vinous:

“Lively medium red. Pure, very refreshing aromas and flavors of raspberry, licorice and violet on the drop-dead gorgeous nose. Then sweet and pliant, boasting delightful energy and balance, with the red fruits and subtle herbal notes conveying a distinct coolness on the mineral, vibrant and very long finish. A real essence of Sangiovese, this is an absolutely splendid Rosso di Montalcino. Well done.”

This is an amazing Rosso di Montalcino! Close your eyes and you'll think you're drinking a fine Brunello! So mature and rich, we absolutely love this wine. Drink it with any Italian dish - fancy or everyday - it will compliment your meal beautifully! - Wine Factor
