Capanna Rosso di Montalcino 2024

Capanna Rosso di Montalcino 2024 is a beautifully crafted Tuscan red that captures the freshness, finesse, and quiet authority of Sangiovese from the Montosoli hills. Made by one of Montalcino’s most respected family producers, it offers a refined, authentic expression of the region with notes of red fruit, subtle vanilla, and a polished, elegant structure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, vibrant ruby color typical of youthful Sangiovese. The nose is lifted and expressive, with aromas of red cherry, wild berries, and a delicate touch of vanilla that adds softness and depth. On the palate, the wine is smooth and supple, balancing fresh fruit with a fine tannic frame and a lively, savory edge. Its elegant structure and crisp finish suggest good mid-term aging potential, while still making it highly enjoyable in its youth.

Production
The wine comes from the renowned Montosoli area north of Montalcino, where vineyards benefit from a well-balanced climate and soils rich in clay and galestro, a rocky marl that helps shape the wine’s refined structure and elegance. Harvesting is carefully managed to preserve the natural freshness and character of the Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures with skin maceration lasting around 18 to 20 days, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures for 6 to 10 months in Slavonian oak casks and is completed with at least 3 to 4 months of bottle refinement before release.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for Tuscan and Mediterranean dishes such as roasted poultry, grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and aged pecorino. Serve it at 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but a short period in a decanter can help open the aromas if enjoyed young.

Producer
Capanna was founded in 1958 in the prestigious Montosoli zone and has since become one of the historic reference names in Montalcino. Established by Giuseppe Cencioni and now led by Amedeo Cencioni, the estate remains firmly rooted in family tradition while maintaining a strong reputation for precision viticulture and classic winemaking. Its careful work in the vineyard and cellar has earned international recognition, including a 92-point score from James Suckling.
