About this Item
Azienda Agricola Capanna is a Tuscan wine estate best known for its Brunello and Moscadello di Montalcino wines. The estate was founded in 1957 by Guiseppe Cencioni, who was one of the 25 founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. The estate began bottling its own wines in the 1960s, and today is still owned and run by the Cencioni family.

Critics Ratings
‘An amazing and impressive feat of winemaking, this riserva is so tightly wound with gorgeous aromatic intensity, it peels back, layer after layer, and evolves smoothly the more you leave it in the glass. Not drinking it immediately is difficult because of the delicious quality of fruit on display here and the lush, soft mouthfeel, but this should be at its best after 2018.’ - Wine Enthusiast, 98/100 ( May 2013)
‘A drop-dead gorgeous wine, the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Capanna caresses the palate with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, spices, licorice and mint. Layered, polished and exceptionally beautiful, the 2007 impresses for its silkiness and finesse. This is one of the most feminine, gracious wines of the year. It is also one of the freshest wines of the vintage. All in all, these wines are a terrific showing from La Capanna.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (June 2013)
