Capanna Description
"Nose of red currant, with touches of undergrowth and nutmeg, with a nice hint of juniper at the end. It has an excellent density, salty tannins and a fruity balsamic finish."
James Suckling: 93 Points
"Lots of ripe berries and sandalwood with nutmeg. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a big, juicy finish. Needs time to soften. Chunky. Try after 2025."
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
"The Capanna 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows fresh primary fruit initially, but the bouquet is otherwise footed in ethereal tones of balsam herb, cola, crushed flowers and autumnal leaf. The wine delivers purity and a nice level of complexity that flirts with both varietal and territory-specific characteristics. It registers 15% alcohol, but thankfully it's not too intrusive. That power and the wine's structure, with some mild tannic bitterness, plays against the delicate quality of fruit you get here. Best after 2024."
