Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019

Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is a classic, cellar-worthy Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most respected estates. Made only in the finest vintages and in limited quantity, it reflects a careful selection of fruit personally chosen by oenologist Massimo Bracalente, with a style built for complexity, finesse and long aging. First released in 1980, this Riserva has become a benchmark for the depth and elegance of traditional Brunello.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep garnet-red color with the kind of clarity and concentration that signals serious aging potential. On the nose, it typically opens with layered aromas of ripe cherry, dried rose, woodland spice, tobacco and earthy notes, unfolding slowly with air. The palate is structured and complete, with firm but refined tannins, vivid Sangiovese acidity and a long, persistent finish. Flavors of red berries, sour cherry, balsamic nuances, leather and mineral undertones give the wine impressive depth, while its balance suggests it will continue to evolve beautifully for decades. This is a Riserva that can age for up to 40 years under the right conditions.

Production
The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in the northern part of Montalcino at around 220 meters above sea level, and partly from southern vineyards at around 270 meters. In both areas, the vines are rooted in Pliocene soils with a sandy-stony matrix and south to southeast exposure, helping the fruit achieve ripeness, freshness and aromatic precision. Only the best vintages are chosen, and the fruit is selected by hand and by taste before vinification, ensuring the Riserva meets Caparzo’s highest standards.

Food & Serving
Best served with substantial dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised beef, roast lamb, game, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours, especially if the bottle is relatively young, to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and structure to fully open.
