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 winery is run by the youthful and dynamic Giacomo Bartolommei, who is still in his 20¹s and has at really ratcheted up the quality at this historic estate in recent years

A fresh, herbaceous nose features notes of cherry, blood orange, fennel / anise and mint.. On the palate, cranberries bring out the tarter side of the blood orange and cherry notes, while a salty minerality effects as an undertone. Acidity drips off firm tannins.
