VINOUS REVIEW: The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino shows mineral-laced black cherries with earth tones and hints of tanned leather. Itâs soft in texture with a polished display of ripe berries and savory spice, as zesty acids create a juicy expression while slow-mounting tannins collect upon the senses. This turns dry and structured toward the finale, yet with the balance for a long and steady evolution in the cellar. This is really very nice.
DECANTER MAGAZINE REVIEW: Prior to acquiring the Altesino estate, Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini purchased Caparzo in 1998. The property includes 28 hectares designated for Brunello and this estate bottling amalgamates vineyards from four distinct areas with different exposures and soils. The 2016 is charming with a delicate lightness and lively brightness. Violet, rosemary and liquorice aromas lead to cool mint and brambly notes on the palate. Easy flowing and seamless with smooth tannins and a dusty cherry finish.
JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW: Plum, ripe-berry and floral aromas with hints of sandalwood and fresh mushrooms. Itâs full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins and a fresh, crushed-stone finish. A little timid now. Give it another two or three years.
WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Ripe, sweet cherry and raspberry fruit are accented by floral, mineral and wild herbs in this alluring red. A backbone of dense, dusty tannins provides support, and the ripe fruit returns on the savory finish. Excellent length.
