Capanna Brunello di Montalcino Riserva '17

The 2017 Capanna Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a rich, muscular wine from the estate’s oldest vines in the Montosoli hill, known for its exceptional terroir. Aged in Slavonian oak casks, it boasts a complex bouquet of baked earth, dried flowers, herbs, and dark fruit aromas, with a palate full of ripe plum, prune, and earthy notes. Hints of iron, tobacco, and spices add intrigue, while chewy tannins and lively acidity provide balance. With a dark ruby color and flavors of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, this wine shows sophistication and elegance. It’s ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like braised stews, red meats, and hard cheeses. Rated 97 points by Decanter, this wine has aging potential, with a drink window extending to 2042.
