Crafted to mark Caparzo’s 50th anniversary, this special-edition Brunello from the superb 2015 vintage is a bold yet refined expression of Sangiovese Grosso. It opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, dried violets, sweet tobacco, and subtle spice, followed by a plush, rounded palate layered with dark berry fruit, leather, and earthy undertones. The tannins are velvety and well-integrated, supporting a long, elegant finish that speaks to both the richness of the vintage and the precision of the estate’s winemaking. A celebratory Brunello with cellar-worthy structure, it also drinks beautifully now with a gentle decanting.
Founded in 1970, Caparzo stands as one of Montalcino’s pioneering estates, known for its innovative spirit and exceptional vineyard holdings across the appellation. The winery was among the first to bottle single-vineyard Brunello and has long embraced both tradition and modernity in equal measure. Today, under the guidance of Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, Caparzo produces Brunellos of purity, depth, and remarkable value, drawing on prime plots in the north, south, and central zones of the region. Their wines consistently reflect a balanced, terroir-driven approach that honors Montalcino’s rich viticultural heritage.
