Tasting Notes
From one of Montalcino’s historic estates, Caparzo’s Rosso offers an approachable yet authentic glimpse of Sangiovese in its pure form. The nose is fragrant and lifted, with red cherry, plum and wild strawberry notes layered with hints of dried herbs and subtle spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and vibrant, with juicy red fruit at the core, framed by fine, silky tannins and a lively line of acidity. The finish is fresh and elegant, making this an excellent early-drinking companion to Tuscan cuisine while still echoing the structure of Brunello. - Chris L
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.
