This ruby red wine features a deep garnet hue with age, and is sure to impress even the most discerning palate.
With complex and penetrating aromas of wild berry fruit, this wine is a sensory experience from the moment you open the bottle. On the palate, it is dry, firm, harmonious and delicate, with flavors that dance on the tongue and a finish that lingers long after the last sip.
The Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a perfect pairing for a wide range of hearty dishes, including roasts, grilled and spit-roasted meats, game, braised meats, and aged cheeses. It is a must-have for any wine lover, and a beautiful addition to any wine collection.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 96:
An intoxicating wine with elegant aromas of roses, violets, leaves, mint, strawberries and red cherries. Full-bodied, it shows a juicy palate with ripe, velvety tannins of good extraction and a licorice finish. Try from 2027.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 95:
There’s plenty of red fruit flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, with hints of wood smoke, tobacco and iron. Firmly built, with vibrant acidity and a line of dusty tannins. This is elegant overall and super long. Best from 2029 through 2048. 15,000 cases made, 7,500 cases imported.
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 93:
The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino is a bright red/garnet color and is packed with aromas of cherries and spice, with dried herbs, smoky earth, and anise. Medium-bodied, it is pure and inviting, with refined tannins, brisk acidity, and a great finish. This is a fabulous vintage for this wine to drink now or over the next 12-15 years. Drink 2026-2041.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 92:
Initially subdued on the nose, the Caparzo 2021 Brunello di Montalcino reveals measured notes of cassis, spice and grilled herbs that clearly signal its Sangiovese origin. The palate is easygoing and accessible, with soft, approachable tannins that make this a comfortable choice for near- to mid-term drinking rather than extended cellaring. Produced in ample quantities at around 160,000 bottles, this is a correct and reliable Brunello positioned squarely for broad commercial appeal at an accessible price point.
