Capanna Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016 magnum

Year after year, the Cencioni family produces top-class, long-lived, classic Brunello from their upland south-southwest facing vineyards in the Montesoli region. The elevated position gives the wines their tension and minerality, while the southern exposure ensures good maturation, the best of both worlds.

Luca Gardini: “This Brunello from the Cencioni family demonstrates an excellent interpretation. Montosoli area, a wine characterized by a floral nose of geranium, alcohol-infused cherries, ending on the notes of cinnamon. Juicy and taut mouth, salty tannins. A balsamic and fruity taste returning on the finish.” 110/100 (een score voorbehouden aan werkelijk exceptionele wijnen)

“Patrizio and Amedeo Cencioni’s Capanna is located near the Montosoli hill, on the northern side of the appellation, where the soils are rich in galestro rocks and marine deposits. The area benefits especially from steep diurnal temperature shifts that give the wines bright freshness.
