The Caprili Rosso di Montalcino 2022 offers classic Tuscan aromas and flavors, with ripe cherries, plum, dusty Tuscan earth, and a kiss of leather and spice. A bold palate leads to generous notes of vibrant red fruit, juicy acidity and herbs with balanced tannins and a long, complex finish. A great example of a top-notch Rosso di Montalcino!"~Distributor Notes

Caprili is a Brunello estate in the southwestern sector of the Montalcino appellation near the hamlet of Tavernelle. They are considered one of the old guard of Montalcino producers as they were established in 1965 when they split off from the famous Pieve Santa Restituta estate. The estate is extremely well located, next to Pieve Santa Restituta but also immediately adjacent to Soldera. As such, it is no surprise they are making great wine at Caprili. The bigger surprise is that they are still very much “under-the-radar." The wines of Caprili offer real pedigree without the exaggerated tariffs, and will not be under-the-radar for much longer!

The winery is run by the youthful and dynamic Giacomo Bartolommei, who is still in his 20s and has really ratcheted up the quality at this historic estate in recent years. Stylistically, the wines are in the traditional camp of Montalcino, approachable without being rustic.
