Capanna makes Brunello the way we love it most. They employ long macerations and age exclusively in large Slavonian botti. There is zero flash here, and zero attempt to appeal to “international” tastes. They want to make thoroughly Tuscan wine, and they do it very well. This is deep Sangiovese with impeccable balance.

Capanna’s vineyards sit in the north of Montalcino, in the Montosoli neighborhood that’s prized for lift and perfume. You feel the cooler exposure in the wine’s poise: dark, clean fruit shaped by fine tannins and natural tension rather than sheer weight.
