The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens to full glory as soon as it is poured into the glass. Don’t decant more than one or two hours as the bouquet is fragile. Capanna’s Riserva sports a deep, dark color and enticing aromas of prune, moist earth and leather that wrap thickly over the palate. There’s that characteristic Brunello tannic bite on the close that never seems to soften no matter how much age you give the wine. Drink: 2014-2022.

Wonderful aromas of blackberry, cedar and raspberry. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and loads of fruit. Big, juicy finish. Best after 2005. 1,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
