About the Producer

For general information about Caparzo, please refer to About the Producer for the Brunello di Montalcino.

Caparzo's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna la Casa is a remarkable oenological treasure, not just within Montalcino. The vineyard's name comes from its history as a farm where tenant farmers lived and worked for the owners of Palazzo Montosoli, just a few hundred meters away. The first vintage of Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa was produced in 1977, a time when little attention was given to terroir or the concept of zonation in Montalcino. Caparzo's innovative spirit led them to produce a "Single Vineyard" Brunello from one of the finest vineyards in the Appellation, setting the pace for others to follow. Caparzo was also one of the first wineries in Montalcino to use barriques, resulting in a wine with a refined, graceful character. Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa is the result of a distinctive terroir, and it fully embodies Caparzo's dedication and expertise in crafting exceptional wines.

Vineyard

The 5-hectare La Casa Vineyard is located on the Montosoli Hill, at an elevation of 275 meters, and enjoys a south-southeast exposure. The Montosoli Hill is not large, but its slightly higher elevation shields it from both mists and spring frosts, and yields grapes of incontrovertible quality. The terrain is a mix of schist and clay, of a sort locally known as “Galestro”, and is well drained. The vineyard enjoys excellent sunshine, an important factor for this sector of the northern part of the Montalcino Appellation, which has lower average temperatures than other sectors.

Vinification

The primary fermentation takes 7 days, at controlled temperatures of between 28 and 30°C, and is followed by delestages ("rack and return") and pump overs. Because of the superb quality of the skins, the wine is kept in contact with them for a further 10/15 days.

Ageing

Malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously, at a controlled temperature of 20-24 °C, immediately after racking. The wine is subsequently aged in wood for at least 2 years and in the bottles for at least 4 months.

Tasting Notes

Bright, intense ruby garnet. Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino La Casa springs from the glass with an intense, beguiling blend of ripe cherries and plums, plus a bouquet of floral notes, violets, lavender, but also "powerful" notes like iron and cedar. It washes over the palate with a silky wave of ripe dark fruits complemented by notes of liquorice and cocoa. Floral notes provide liveliness, fine-meshed tannins and balanced acidity give structure and stability, beautifully articulated and juicy on the finish.

Analysis

14% alcohol vol.

Food Suggestions

Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino La Casa is excellent with stewed and braised game dishes, with wild boar, guinea fowl, or duck, but also roast veal and pork, all grilled meats and aged cheeses.

Serving temperature: 18°C. A combination of elegance and power, it should be opened at least 2 hours in advance or, alternatively, delicately decanted.

Cellar

Will mature and improve over 35 years, provided Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino La Casa is stored horizontally in cool, dark conditions.
