Capanna Rosso di Montalcino 2020 DOC [VM 92]

Vinous Media 92 points. Rosso di Montalcino Capanna is the simplest and most immediate version of the great Brunello di Montalcino. Like Brunello, it is made from pure Sangiovese grapes, a fresh and elegant expression of Montalcino red wine. Capanna is a real reference point for the wines of this area, and produces this Rosso di Montalcino that ferments in Slavonian barrels at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins for three weeks. It then matures in Slavonian barrels for about 6-10 months, followed by another 3-4 months in the bottle before release. This Tuscan red wine has an intense ruby red colour, while the nose offers aromas of ripe cherries and small red fruits, vanilla, floral and mineral notes, for a fresh and elegant sip, with medium body and good persistence. DENOMINATION: Rosso di Montalcino DOC REGION: Tuscany (Italy) VINE: 100% Sangiovese Grosso VINIFICATION: fermentation at controlled temperature in Slavonian oak barrels with maceration on the skins for three weeks, ageing for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.
