Caprili Rosso di Montalcino 2022
Rosso di Montalcino DOC
If you’ve wanted to try the great Brunello di Montalcino, but find the prices a bit steep, go for a Rosso di Montalcino. Same grape, same winemaking team, but more affordable and earlier drinking. This is one from an exemplary family estate.

Founded in 1965 by Alfo Bartolommei, this remarkable family estate is one of the region’s star performers. It used to be part of the great Pieve Santa Restituta and is also a neighbour to the renowned Soldara. With its 21 hectares of vines, the property is perfectly situated to produce some of the very finest Brunellos, as well as excellent Rosso di Montalcino, which comes at a more affordable price. Every vintage, these wines gain top scores. Alfo’s three children – Paolo, Paola and Manuele – now run the estate, with grandson Giacomo as winemaker. They’ve been ratcheting up the quality in recent years, so it's remarkable how this domaine has remained relatively under the radar. This is a fine, classic red from Montalcino, organic too.
