The 2024 Rosso di Montalcino is wonderfully perfumed, mixing rose petals and geraniums with nuances of citrusy spice and cherries. This is soothingly round with tart wild berry fruits and crisp mineral tones. The 2024 finishes fresh and gently tannic, with long-lasting violet inner florals.

Just sniffing Caprili’s 2024 Rosso di Montalcino will put a smile on your face thanks to its ultra pretty aromas of lavender, bright red berry, spice and juniper berry. The palate is equally appealing, offering Marasca cherry, strawberry compote and star anise before and orange zest close. Balanced and ready, with lithe tannins and bright acidity, it’s a textbook Rosso, a great everyday wine with personality and no pretension. Chill it down for a summer red or an apertivo any time of year.” Kerin O’Keefe
The Rosso di Montalcino is spicy, perfumed with dusty rose, dried strawberries and hints of camphor. It’s much more energetic than anticipated on the palate, as juicy acidity and vibrant red berry fruits are complemented by a sweet herbal twang. The 2020 finishes classically dry and poised, with the slightest hint of licorice that lingers. This is without a doubt one of the more pretty and balanced Rossos of this opulent vintage.
