The answer was obvious – the increasingly delicious Rosso di Montalcinos and from one of the best value producers in the entire region – Caparzo. Rosso di Montalcinos, which used to be a way to get rid of unwanted grapes from their Brunello, are increasingly part of marketing and cashflow equation.
Modern Rossos allow cash to come in much quicker since the aging requirements are substantially shorter. Even more importantly, they are now an early beacon of anticipated quality that consumers can expect from the big boy Brunello Riservas the wineries will release three years later.
These Rossos are now viewed as market makers and wineries are putting a lot of effort into making them great and memorable. When Vinous was covering the 2019 vintage, they summed up the revolution nicely.
“The Rosso di Montalcino category has never been better than it is today. Top-notch Rosso di Montalcino delivers a highly enjoyable expression of Sangiovese with Montalcino pedigree that communicates house style and terroir associated with it. Rosso di Montalcino, with its zesty fruit and high acidity, will pair with nearly any meal imaginable.”
Caparzo’s 2019 Rosso di Montalcino displays ripe fresh strawberries and cherries on the nose. A bit of pepper and spice reveal themselves on the palate, sitting atop layers of cherries. It’s bright and zesty and Vinous isn’t kidding when they say it will pair nicely with pretty much anything.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
