Tasting notes
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is soft, supple and delicious, with lovely fruit and outstanding overall balance. The flavors are bright and polished throughout. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, spice and mint add nuance on the pliant, expressive finish. This pretty, forward Brunello should drink well upon release and for another decade or more.

Caprili's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino shows unique aromas with undertones of forest floor and wet earth with grilled herbs and dark fruit. You also get a heavier tone of dried fig and Graham cracker that distinguishes this particular expression of Sangiovese. The wine is smooth and polished with a nice sense of inner elegance. Silky tannins give Giacomo Bartolommei's Brunello more immediacy and a more approachable drinking window. I very much appreciated the wine's overall elegance.
Deep ruby with orange tinges. Perfumed cherry nose with hints of graphite. Juicy fruit palate with slightly astringent tannins. As accessible as a Rosso di Montalcino and a little simple. (WS)
