To the eye, it displays a ruby red colour that, over time, develops deep garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of blackberry and cherry, enriched with notes of spices, vanilla, cloves, liquorice and a delicate hint of undergrowth. On the palate, it is dry, warm and enveloping, with an exceptional aptitude for ageing. The mature, velvety tannins blend with vibrant freshness and a long mineral persistence, making it the ideal companion for roasts, game and \u003cstrong\u003eaged cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines grow on the \u003cstrong\u003ehill of Monsindoli\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a north-facing plot situated at around 275 metres above sea level. The soil is characterised by an abundant presence of \u003cstrong\u003egalestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, a formation of schist and marl clays that ensures excellent drainage. This particular soil composition gives the wine marked freshness, a defined acidic backbone and a tannic structure of great finesse. The name derives from an ancient farmhouse and the first vinification as a \u003cstrong\u003esingle vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e dates back to the late 1970s, testifying to the vocation of this terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature, with the use of délestage and pumping over. To extract every aromatic and structural nuance, the must remains in prolonged contact with the skins, then undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Ageing initially takes place in small barrels and then continues in large \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, concluding with a necessary period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e. The final blend is distinguished by the absence of new wood, a choice aimed at enhancing the purity of the fruit and the overall balance of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1977 as one of the first crus of the area, this renowned Brunello comes to life from the \u003cstrong\u003egalestro soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Monsindoli hill. Produced with \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e only in exceptional vintages, it stands out for its pioneering use of \u003cstrong\u003eFrench barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e, historically chosen by the estate to give the wine a more elegant and aristocratic profile. The exclusive five-hectare vineyard yields a wine of extraordinary depth that combines power, vibrant acidity and finesse, confirming itself as a true benchmark for great admirers of Tuscan wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Caparzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48231663501483,"sku":"62883","price":57.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-nl\/products\/caparzo-brunello-di-montalcino-vigna-la-casa-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
