| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by talbot61 on 3/28/2024: Capanna Brunello Masterclass, Gordon's, Waltham, Mass.: 14.5% alcohol. Aged for 42 months in large, neutral Slavonian oak barrels. This is a big step up from the Rosso (in price and quality). More extract, more intensity, more definition. It is also very tannic, but the tannin levels seem more balanced here. Should be good to drink in about 5 years.

Don’t judge this wine bar by its cover! Staff are super knowledgeable, and their selection is amazing. This wine made in a traditional style was incredible and our pick of the tasting. It smells like dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, with a little bit of leather, tobacco, chocolate, oak, and spices. When you taste it, it's full-bodied with firm tannins and lively acidity that make a perfect mix for the complex flavors of fruit, herbs, and dark luscious undertones. The finish is long and satisfying, making you want more. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in trying a classic style of BdM. Perhaps this isn’t the most “myth” or “unicorn” of our tasting as it is neither difficult to purchase nor exceedingly unaffordable, but thankfully it was excellent. Quintessentially BdM and if I had to choose a word to describe it, it would be either mouthwatering or satisfying.

Palate is some spice in addition to the cherry and mineral elements. Medium(+) tannin and acidity. Nice texture and depth. Finish is long but has a slight bitter edge to it. Needs tine in the cellar and aeration. Should be long lived. (1189 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 11/11/2022 & rated 92 points: Juicy, even sexy stuff. Full fruit, chocolate notes -. but not overdone. very well made - and quite open.

U.S. Importer (addt'l info)SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (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.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
