2016 Capanna, Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Description

ABOUT THE WINEThe Capanna farm, owned by the Cencioni family since 1957, is situated in the Montosoli area, to the north of Montalcino. Founded by Giuseppe Cencioni and his sons, Benito and Franco, it was one of the first farms of the modern period of Brunello. The farm is still family run from both a farming and winemaking viewpoint, with 11 hectares out of 23 devoted to olive groves.TASTING NOTESA deep ruby red colour with garnet hues. Delicate bouquet of red fruit and a hint vanilla. Smoke, roses and liquorice on the palate; very aromatic and persistent, with excellent round tannins and structure, and a long finish. The extra time in oak has served to mellow the tannins in the wine, creating a broader palate and a more refined drinking experience.. 2016 stands as one of the best vintages of Brunello ever, if not the best. Do not miss out.FOOD PAIRING48 month-aged Parmiggiano Reggiano, wild boar Prosciutto, dry-aged Wagyu beef and seared pork-belly. FRIARWOOD SAYSA powerful yet very elegant wine. We recommend letting it breathe at least 30 minutes before serving.. Discover all the wines from Capanna
