| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.6 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 19 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JB12 on 9/5/2021 & rated 93 points: Decanted for an hour. Could use a little more time. Cherry flavors and a nice BdM. (1074 views) | | | Tasted by JB12 on 10/11/2020 & rated 93 points: Much improved from 2 years ago. Wine is smooth upon decanting and has lots of cherry notes and some softer fruit flavors. Probably could improve more, bu5 very drinkable now. (1156 views) | | | Tasted by Mark van Delft on 9/2/2019 & rated 93 points: Again a nice Brunello from Caparzo, more body than the “entry” Brunello, BlackBerry, Barolo like floral note, leather, espresso, dark chocolate, medium body, very nice acidity, black currant, great long finish. Drink now up to 5/8 years. (1524 views) | | | Tasted by RussK on 5/16/2019 & rated 90 points: Russk. Wine Spectator Grand Tour. (1549 views) | | | Tasted by JB12 on 3/1/2018 & rated 90 points: Ok BdM. It had a even flavor but nothing stood out. We did not decant it. It opened up a little so I would suggest that this may improve the notes. (2102 views) | | | Tasted by RussK on 5/13/2017 & rated 91 points: Russk Wine Spectator Gran Tour at the Fontainebleau. Clean smooth. 91+ (1785 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 3/8/2016: Benvenuto Brunello - Toronto 2016: Right off the bat this wine seems to be dominated by sweaty gym shoes, rubber and a hint of plastic. Also some lush dark cherry hiding in the bakground. I'll leave this not rated today was I'm really have trouble getting past the reduction. Having said this I do find some elevated alcohol on the palate which is concerning. (3679 views) |

U.S. Importer: Good source of addt'l infoSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Vigna La Casa In Motalcino area.
