Wine review: 2011 Caprili Rosso di Montalcino
What a beauty. Caprili’s 2011 Rosso di Montalcino, 100% Sangiovese grosso, is the perfect food wine, bright and chiseled, with flavors of black cherries, sweet spices and chocolate. Tannins are tight, and there’s a lovely slight bitterness at the finish that keeps you coming back to the glass.
It’s wonderful with tagliatelle or fettuccine with meat ragù, grilled portobello mushrooms, grilled meats or roasted birds.
