Capanna 2007 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $70
An amazing and impressive feat of winemaking, this riserva is so tightly wound with gorgeous aromatic intensity, it peels back, layer after layer, and evolves smoothly the more you leave it in the glass. Not drinking it immediately is difficult because of the delicious quality of fruit on display here and the lush, soft mouthfeel, but this should be at its best…  — M.L.  (5/1/2013)

Capanna 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $55
Capanna’s offering in 2007 is extremely bold, dark and opulent. Loads of aromatic momentum in the form of blackberry, cherry liqueur, spice, leather, tobacco, rum cake, cinnamon, vanilla bean and bitter chocolate characterize the bouquet. The wine also shows a soft, ripe, generous texture, yet remains well-contained and balanced.  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

Capanna 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $55
This beautiful Brunello will charm your socks off. The wine is rich and plush, deep and concentrated, intense and ripe with personality. It offers a modern yet sneakily sophisticated nose with tones of bright cherry, almond paste and vanilla. The tannins are still a bit firm and so give it another five years of cellar aging.  — M.L.  (4/1/2011)

Capanna 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

There’s a steady, balanced approach to this Brunello that sees seamless integration of red fruit, cassis, leather, cola and dried rosemary aromas. Bright acidity only serves to underline its overall liveliness. Very different from the softer 2007 vintage, this wine will appeal to those who appreciate a more traditional style.  — M.L.  (5/1/2013)

We loved the menthol freshness of this wine with mineral notes, eucalyptus, candied cherry, tealeaf or moist tobacco and leather. Warm, inviting and lush and tightly packed by rock-hard tannins. A very persistent finish. Imported by Masciarelli Wine Co.  — W.E.  (4/1/2006)

Capanna 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  1. $90
Here’s a Brunello Riserva with a delicate, feminine nose that recalls elements of forest fruit, pressed violets, cherry cola and dried herbs. The wine is determined, linear and powerful in the mouth with tight tannins and a polished, slightly bitter finish.  — M.L.  (8/1/2010)
