The 2005 Morellino di Scansano Capatosta is the estate’s more important Morellino bottling. It possesses greater depth and richness in its black cherries, plums, smoke and earthiness. There is excellent balance here, although the use of oak is a little overpowering in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
