Caprili produces a small quantity of Moscadello di Montalcino DOC, a historic sweet white wine made from Moscato Bianco that is considered one of the oldest wine styles of the Ilcinese tradition, now made by fewer and fewer Montalcino producers. Caprili is among the estates keeping this local heritage wine alive alongside its Sangiovese-based range.
A quiet piece of Montalcino history in the glass — Moscadello is increasingly rare, and Caprili's version is worth seeking out for that reason alone.
New to wine?
