Caprili Rosso di Montalcino 2023

For a taste of top-quality Brunello, but at a more affordable price, enjoy this Rosso di Montalcino
Ever wanted to try Brunello di Montalcino, but find the prices a bit steep? Try a Rosso di Montalcino. Same grape, same winemaking team – but more affordable and made for earlier drinking. From an exemplary family estate, this brims with red berries.
This sumptuous red wine is an affordable introduction to the great wines of Montalcino – and in a more approachable style than Brunello. It’s crafted by Caprili, a remarkable family estate originally founded in 1965 by Alfo Bartolommei. It used to be part of the Pieve Santa Restituta and is a neighbour to the renowned Soldara. Today, the estate is one of the region’s star performers, run by Alfo’s three children, with his grandson, Giacomo, as winemaker. This is a fine, classic red with aromas of red berries, cherry, woodsmoke and spice. The palate offers similar flavours, with silky tannins, freshness and a long, complex finish. Decant an hour before serving to enjoy it at its best. A fine match for pizza and pasta, lamb or aged cheeses.
