Reviews
James Suckling 92
Dark berries, mocha, wafers and game on the nose. Full-bodied with chewy tannins. Peppery and serious on the palate with a compact finish. Try after 2025.

Wine Spectator 91
This broad version combines cherry, plum and iron flavors, offering savory notes of tomato leaf, eucalyptus and juniper. Beefy tannins ply the lingering finish, with earthy, savory elements.

Decanter 93
At the eastern edge of Castellina, approaching the UGA of Radda, Capraia reserves its highest altitude vineyards - over 500 metres - for its Riserva. Along with lofty elevations, the cool northeastern exposure and bordering forest mitigate warming temperatures. In 2020, the concentration of fruit comes through, but so does a brightness and verve. Aromas are restrained for now, evoking rooibos, earth, bay leaf and, above all, winter mint, while cinnamon laces through the raspberry flavoured core. Tannins are slender yet decisive and still tight. Mouthwatering savoury succulence here.
