Caparzo, Brunello di Montalcino 2010

Caparzo’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is only produced in the finest vintages, from grapes selected personally by winemaker Massimo Bracalente. The grapes are selected from two parcels: one located in the northern part of the Montalcino Appellation at an elevation of 220 meters above sea level, and in part from vineyards south of Montalcino, at an elevation of 270 meters. The nose is restrained, giving faint hints of red fruits. The mid-palate has nice cherries notes, with a gripping minerality and a good acidity that goes hand in hand with tannins that become chewy on the nice, quite long ending. Very enjoyable.
