Carefully selected Sangiovese grapes from the oldest vineyards and only of the best harvests. Alcoholic fermentation with maceration of the skins (30-35 days) at a controlled temperature and spontaneous malolactic fermentation, both in truncated cone-shaped Slavonian oak vats. Aged in Slavonian oak casks for over 40 months, followed by ageing in bottles for at least 15 months.Deep ruby red colour. Intense and complex aromas of fruits and spices (plums, blackberries, blueberries, vanilla, liquorice) – great prospects of future development. Great structure in the acid-tannin components, well supported by the soft ones, extremely persistent.Ageing potential until 2045.
Serve at 16-18 °C with red meats, game dishes with musrooms or vegetables.
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva offers rich darkness and lots of blackberry fruit and plum. The wine shows an accessible and open personality, putting all its beauty right out there for you to admire. Unlike the more mercurial and shape-shifting 2016 vintage, this expression from 2015 delivers frankness and naked beauty. The tannins are soft and ripe, and the wine is just raring to go, without delay, next to a hearty serving of Bistecca alla Fiorentina. This wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks for an extended 44 months, and 12,000 bottles (including large formats) will be released in January 2021.

Exotic aromas of crushed cherries and berries with flowers, bark and some black mushrooms. It’s full-bodied and very deep with wonderful length and power. A very typical and well structured, top 2015. One of the best ever from here. Drink after 2025. Tuesday, Dec 22, 2020
Capanna (officially Azienda Agricola Capanna di Cencioni) is a family-owned winery located in the Montosoli area, in the northern part of the Montalcino appellation in Tuscany.
The Cencioni family has owned the estate since 1957, when Giuseppe Cencioni purchased a plot of land with a simple woodland shelter (capanna in Italian, from which the winery takes its name). Initially producing small quantities of wine, the estate gradually expanded to its current size of approximately 25 hectares of vineyards. Today, the winery is run by Patrizio and Amedeo Cencioni, representing the third and fourth generations, who are directly involved in vineyard management and winemaking.
Capanna was among the 25 founding members who helped establish the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino following the granting of Brunello DOCG status in 1966.
The winery has preserved its traditional rural character, with parts of the cellar housed in historic village-style buildings that have been carefully restored and adapted for modern winemaking. Fermentation takes place in traditional truncated-conical oak vats, particularly for Sangiovese-based wines such as Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. Temperature control systems and automated pumping equipment are also used where precision is required.
Brunello and Rosso wines are aged in large Slavonian oak casks (ranging from approximately 10 to 30 hectoliters), stored in underground cellars with stone galleries and naturally stable conditions. Bottling, storage, and ageing take place under carefully controlled temperature and humidity levels.
Capanna produces:
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, including the classic and Riserva styles
Rosso di Montalcino DOC
Moscadello di Montalcino DOC, including Vendemmia Tardiva
Other wines, including Sant’Antimo DOC and IGT wines
Extra virgin olive oil (EVO) and grappa
Thanks to its history, location, and consistent quality, Capanna enjoys a strong international reputation among wine professionals and collectors, with its Brunello wines particularly highly regarded.
