Tasted from an unfinished shiner bottle, the Caprili 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva AdAlberto is a single-vineyard expression that has drawn its fruit from the same site since 2010. The wine is dedicated to the paternal figure Alberto Bartolomei (grandfather to the current owners) who planted these vines in 1965. You can definitely taste the age and authentic character of those plants in the concentration and richness of the fruit, presented here with the abundance that only the 2015 vintage affords. The wine is smooth and enduring, and the tannins just need a few more years of bottle age. This is a small-production wine with just 4,000 bottles made.

This is sleek and succulent, featuring cherry, strawberry, blood orange, rose and mineral aromas and flavors. Flinty, with fine intensity as this cruises to the long aftertaste, which echoes the fruit and mineral notes and refined tannins. Best from 2028 through 2045. 450 cases made, 150 cases imported.
