Caprili's Rosso di Montalcino DOC offers an earlier-drinking expression of the estate's Sangiovese, sourced from younger vines and aged for a shorter period than the Brunello. It shows the same purity and bright acidity that define the house style, with notes of black cherry, blackberry, and wet stone, and is regarded as one of the best-value wines in the Caprili range.
A staunchly traditional, great-value Tuscan red — proof that Caprili's purity of style shows through even in its entry-level wine.
