Capanna, Rosso di Montalcino

The Capanna estate boasts one of the most dramatic vineyard panoramas in Montalcino, and this perfectly proportioned Rosso di Montalcino is all about the spice, energy, and woodland savor of traditionally crafted Sangiovese. it’s all wild-berry fruit, earth, leather, and smoke. Red fruits like cranberry, currant, and wild strawberry are complemented by a vast array or more-savory sensations, like leather, underbrush, grilled herbs, tobacco, and roses. It is the perfect weight for a Rosso di Montalcino—which is to say relatively lightweight and full of mouth-watering tension. Decant it 30 minutes before serving in Burgundy stems at 60-65 degrees and you’ll be hard-pressed to remember the last time you paid this little for this much wine.

Italy

Northwestern Italy

Piedmont

Italy’s Piedmont region is really a wine “nation”unto itself, producing world-class renditions of every type of wine imaginable: red, white, sparkling, sweet...you name it! However, many wine lovers fixate on the region’s most famous appellations—Barolo and Barbaresco—and the inimitable native red that powers these wines:Nebbiolo.

Tuscany

Chianti

The area known as “Chianti” covers a major chunk of Central Tuscany, from Pisa to Florence to Siena to Arezzo—and beyond. Any wine with “Chianti” in its name is going to contain somewhere between 70% to 100% Sangiovese, and there are eight geographically specific sub-regions under the broader Chianti umbrella.
