Capanna 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $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.

Capanna 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice
- $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.

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.

Capanna 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
This is a very likeable and approachable Brunello with soft but generous tones of cherry fruit, exotic spice, pipe tobacco and cedar wood. In fact, those exotic wood notes transfer to the mouth where the wine is smooth and enduring with a sweet cherry finale.
