Situated on a stony hill above the Ombrone river, Montalcino producer Cupano boasts an estate that spans 35 hectares of organic farming. 6.4ha of which are devoted to vineyards. The 2017 Brunello is a powerful Sangiovese-based red with a warming 15% abv. Aged on the fine lees in Burgundy barriques for at least 3 years. Notes of blackberries, cherries and wild strawberries mingle with gentle spice and refined tannins, concluding on a wonderfully long finish.

Vinous
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino draws you in with an intense display of black raspberries, dusty rose and crushed rocks. With further coaxing, notes of clove, allspice and mocha evolve in the glass. This is a pure pleasure on the palate, silky and refined, conveying a balanced inner sweetness contrasted by tart wild berries, plum skins and minerals that create a more tactile feel toward the close. Residual acids keep the expression remarkably fresh, as fine-grained tannins settle in, all under an air of tobacco and balsam herbs. This is a slightly heady yet balanced and thoroughly enjoyable expression of the 2017 vintage. I can’t wait to see what a year or two of cellaring will unlock.Eric Guido1st December 2021
