Earthy and vibrant, this lithe, easy-drinking red offers aromas rose, moist soil, wild berry and just a hint of game. On the bright, linear palate, racy acidity and polished tannins provide light support for juicy sour cherry, crushed strawberry and the merest hint of black tea. Drink through 2022.

Bright red. Flowers and spices complement red fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Broad and juicy, offering early appeal on the vibrant clean finish. Not the last word in complexity but highly enjoyable and refreshing.

The Caprili 2018 Rosso di Montalcino is thin and compact in the mouth, but it also shows enough fruit intensity and acidic crispness to pair with a cheesy pasta or lasagna dish. This is a fun red wine from Tuscany with an easy-breezy approach that satisfies all your basic needs. You can't go wrong with a versatile and informal choice such as this.
