Tasting Notes
Caparzo’s Brunello di Montalcino shows the vintage’s balance and charm, opening with lifted aromas of cherry, raspberry and plum alongside touches of rose, lavender and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is poised and expressive, layering bright red fruit with hints of cedar, leather and gentle spice. Fine tannins and lively acidity give the wine structure and flow, carrying through to a long, polished finish. Elegant yet approachable, it already drinks beautifully but has the depth to reward further ageing. - Aaron C
Caparzo is one of the historic estates of Montalcino, founded at the dawning of Brunello in 1970 when a group of friends purchased a ruined farm in the region and rejuvenated its vineyards. The estate was a trailblazer in establishing site-driven winemaking, introducing one of Montalcino’s first single-vineyard bottlings—Vigna La Casa—in 1977. In 1998, Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini acquired the property and propelled its evolution with thoughtful modernization, expanded vineyards across multiple premier Montalcino sites, and a commitment to innovation balanced with tradition.
Today, Caparzo spans around 90 hectares of vineyards dispersed over diverse soils and microclimates, giving the estate the flexibility to draw on the full spectrum of Montalcino’s terroir. Their range includes expressive Rosso di Montalcino, refined Brunello, vineyard-specific cru bottlings, and even a Supertuscan inspired by regional ambition. With precision in viticulture, hand-harvested fruit, and a cellar that balances modern technique with respect for place, Caparzo crafts wines that express both clarity and structure, honoring tradition while looking forward.
