Reviews:

• WA: The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a massively layered and brooding wine that opens with an excruciatingly slow aromatic evolution that bodes well for its longevity in your cellar. The aromas are dealt forward in generous, oversize portions with tones of cherry liqueur, mesquite smoke and mahogany. The mouthfeel is shaped by oak aging (30% of the wine sees 36 months of new French barrique) and shows sweet tannins and a long, fleshy finish. Cupano’s wines denote an international style, but they also have a proven track record for longevity.

Producer Information

Cupano is a family-run winery, which represents an excellence of the Montalcino area . It was born out of the love for this land of Ornella Tondini, a journalist, and Lionel Cousin, director and director of photography, who in the 1990s decided to leave Paris and their professions to move to Tuscany. In 1994 they bought the Podere Centine, which is located in the south-west area of ​​the Montalcino hill, near the ancient village of Camigliano. The property had been abandoned for over 40 years and offered virgin land, which had never known the use of chemistry and modern and industrial agriculture. An ideal land to start from scratch and create a farm oriented towards the production of great wines.The first Cupano labels came out in 2000, with the idea of ​​making great aging reds in the style of the most famous French wines, capable of synthesizing elegance, complexity and longevity. As a great lover of Burgundy wines, Lionel has implemented a vineyard philosophy on the estate based on high density of plants, low yields and production of grapes of the highest quality.
