Caparzo 2017 Brunello DI Montalcino (DOCG), $32.29-$39.99, 92+ points, poured a blood-orange red with a broad clear meniscus and fat-stained legs.
Red fruit and floral aromas dominated hints of cedar and black tea, and were quite pleasant!
Caparzo is typically a bone-dry, medium-bodied, acidic red wine, and this vintage wasn't really different in those respects from the previous nine vintages I've had the pleasure of affording.
Flavors were consistent with the aromas plus notes of iron, strawberry, and anise.
Finished on a never-ending palate of a warm 14.5% alcohol infused spiciness.
Paired perfectly with my Tuscan-styled veggie/Italian sausage pizza.
Mid-palate did thin-out a bit, but at this price Caparzo once again gets my BUY recommendation for a high-end Sangiovese (think Chianti) red wine.
