96 Points and potential Wine of the Year candidate, the Caprili Brunello di Montalcino is a blockbuster red in the much-hyped 2019 vintage. Only our second offer for the 2019 campaign, we went and searched for a traditional style Brunello that outclassed its counterparts, and came back to Caprili, a winery that we haven't featured since 2015. As the Wine Advocate wrote back then, Caprili is a classic rendition of Sangiovese that shows the opulence and richness of this sunny vintage, as well as the elegant restraint that you normally associate with the mighty Montalcino growing area. Sourced from three of the most prestigious vineyards in Montalcino: Ceppo Nero, Pino and Quadrucci, the wines’ greatness is found in the meticulous selection that is done to propagate the best vines from the estate’s 21 hectares of vines. Job well done as the Caprili Brunello di Montalcino is one of the best wines from the 2019 campaign, and a must have for any Italian wine lover

Wine Spectator: 96 Points

"This red is all about finesse, delivering superb balance and complexity, with cherry, raspberry, earth and wild herb aromas and flavors. Succulent and charming, yet with a solid base of tannins and vivid acidity, this remains focused through the long aftertaste." The Wine Spectator, 96 Points

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

"The Caprili 2019 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a very pretty bouquet with a level of ripe fruit and pure cherry essence that does not come easily to a wine aged five years following the harvest. The primary fruit remains intact in this vintage. This village bottling shows velvety richness and concentration that stems directly from that exceptional fruit quality. There is rich texturing and fine chalky tannins to close." The Wine Advocate, 95 Points

Vinous Media: 95 Points

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is remarkably pretty, wafting up with a blend of violets and lavender before giving way to steeped plum lifted by mint. This is racy and sleek, with cooling acidity and mineral tones that excite the palate. Juicy acidity enlivens tart wild berry fruits. The 2019 finds its center through the finish, as fine tannins emerge and a crunchy sensation lingers. Licorice and bitter blackberry notes taper off slowly. In a word, fantastic. The balance of complexity, structure and energy places the 2019 very high in my book." Vinous Media, 95 Points
