There has been a tremendous amount of buzz and hype regarding the 2019 Brunellos and we are all in!

Caprili is one of the earliest estates in Montalcino, founded when there were less than 20 estates (now there are more than 200). Their wines are stylistically traditional and some of our favorites to lay down in the cellar. 

While Caprili owns upwards of 21 hectares of vineyards, the fruit for their Brunello di Montalcino is mainly sourced from a very select three vineyards. These three vineyards are some of the most prestigious in all of Montalcino: Ceppo Nero, Pino and Quadrucci. 

EVERY single collector and Brunello buyer needs to grab this. If you have the room - get a solid case. The wine will age for decades and at this price point, you will be hard-pressed to find anything better, anywhere in the world!

Here is what Vinous had to say on the vintage overall -

"I’m happy to report that the current releases from Montalcino are an embarrassment of riches for collectors and fans of the appellation ... This is a vintage of radiance and appeal without any sensation of over-ripeness or lack of complexity. The wines are aromatically intense and full of dimension, with translucent color, fruit typicity and the ability to communicate a sense of place. They are structured and built for cellaring, often showing their best after being open for over two days in bottle. The terms classic, racy, cool-toned, crunchy and sleek litter my tasting notes, and while many 2019s display an inviting personality today, they are balanced for the cellar and sure to mature beautifully over the next ten to fifteen years, if not more. This is the vintage we’ve all been waiting for."

There is so much more we can say about this remarkable wine but the massive scores really speak for themselves, check them out below!

“This red is all about finesse, delivering superb balance and complexity, with cherry, raspberry, earth and wild herb aromas and flavors. Succulent and charming, yet with a solid base of tannins and vivid acidity, this remains focused through the long aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. 4,575 cases made, 3,000 cases imported. -BS" - 96 Points Wine Spectator

“Tobacco, truffle, violet and hints of mocha and cherry pie unfold on this beautiful Brunello. Classically crafted and elegantly structured, it delivers flavors of ripe Morello cherry, wild raspberry, baking spice and licorice alongside enveloping, refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it nicely balanced." - 96 Points Kerin O’Keefe

​"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is remarkably pretty, wafting up with a blend of violets and lavender before giving way to steeped plum lifted by mint. This is racy and sleek, with cooling acidity and mineral tones that excite the palate. Juicy acidity enlivens tart wild berry fruits. The 2019 finds its center through the finish, as fine tannins emerge and a crunchy sensation lingers. Licorice and bitter blackberry notes taper off slowly. In a word, fantastic. The balance of complexity, structure and energy places the 2019 very high in my book." - 95 Points Eric Guido, Vinous

"The Caprili 2019 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a very pretty bouquet with a level of ripe fruit and pure cherry essence that does not come easily to a wine aged five years following the harvest. The primary fruit remains intact in this vintage. This village bottling shows velvety richness and concentration that stems directly from that exceptional fruit quality. There is rich texturing and fine chalky tannins to close. Some 55,000 bottles were made." - 95 Points Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
