The magnificent exposure and the rocky grounds, together with the dry and breezy climate, allow to obtain an elegant and full Brunello suitable for long aging periods. The favourable natural factors are enhanced by the selection of the grapes which guarantee a high level of quality even in less favourable years, the selection during harvest and the careful vinification in controlled temperature. Only a part of the production, that is left to age for four years in oak barrels are destined to become Brunello docg whereas the other part becomes Montalcino doc, after a year or so of aging. Even the thinning in the bottles is carefully controlled after a few months. Contains sulphites. Produced by Capanna di Cencioni - Società Agricola s.s. - Loc. Capanna, 333 - 53024, Montalcino (Siena) - Italy.

It is run in an exclusive family business, while operating in respect of the tradition but always taking into account the modern technologies which can heighten the quality of the product. The surface cultivated in vineyards is of about 12 hectares while the remaining 11 is for olive groves.

Great BrunelloReview by Thomas

Thanks to the discount reserved for newsletter subscribers, I was able to buy this Brunello at a lower price than the cellar price. I've been waiting for this opportunity to buy it. Many describe it as one of the best Brunello wines. In fact, it's fantastic: rich and complex, structured, full-bodied, balanced. I don't know if there is a better Brunello than this!

I consider Montalcino one of the most important Italian wine areas. This wine is one of its products. It is complex and rich on the nose and palate. The price is correct for its quality. (Posted on 5/17/2023)
