Wine Description

Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2020 displays a brilliant ruby red colour with garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals an enticing bouquet of red cherries, wild berries, dried rose petals, and subtle hints of spice and underbrush. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, featuring flavours of ripe plum, cherry liqueur, licorice, and a touch of leather, supported by well-integrated tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of balsamic and earthy minerality.
