The 2017 Capanna Brunello di Montalcino is a masterclass in Sangiovese elegance — already cellared to perfection and now ready for your glass. Decanter calls it “awash with alluring red fruit and an underlying frisson of black olive savouries... ample, weighty, with dusty tannins and supple acidity.” A long, enduring finish seals the deal.
Compared to other Brunello favorites on Vivino like Casanova di Neri or Lisini (often $70–$100+), Capanna delivers equal pedigree at a fraction of the cost.
Capanna is one of Brunello’s founding estates, established in 1957 by Giuseppe Cencioni, one of the 25 original signers of the Brunello Consorzio. Nestled in the prized Montosoli area (just behind Lisini), this family-run estate has passed winemaking tradition through four generations. Today, Patrizio and Amedeo Cencioni continue that legacy, crafting wines that honor the classic Brunello style — deep, structured, and built to age.
This is luxury Brunello, with heritage and terroir baked in — without the usual triple-digit price tag.
