Brunello di Montalcino 2018, Capanna
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino from Capanna is a masterful example of how a cool vintage can translate into balance and complexity. Located in Montosoli, one of the most prestigious areas north of Montalcino, the Cencioni family has interpreted the 2018 vintage by focusing on aromatic clarity. On the nose, it is a celebration of undergrowth and small ripe red fruits, enriched by a balsamic note of eucalyptus, blond tobacco, and a hint of incense. On the palate, the wine reveals an aristocratic progression: the entry is soft, yet immediately supported by a vibrant acidic spine that lifts the sip. The tannins are already well-rounded, with a dense structure that does not overwhelm, leading to a persistent finish characterized by a pleasant mineral and savory trail.
