Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino La Casa 2018
Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna la Casa can be considered a true oenological jewel, and not only of Montalcino. The origin of the name 'La Casa' derives from the fact that in the past, this was one of the estates where some peasants employed by the owners of Palazzo Montosoli, located a few hundred metres away, lived. The first vintage produced of Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa was in 1977. At that time, little was known about terroir, and little attention was paid to the concept of zoning, which has only been introduced in Montalcino in recent years. Caparzo was again a pioneering winery in producing one of the first 'Single Vineyard' Brunello di Montalcino in one of the most privileged vineyards in the municipality. With the Brunello di Montalcino La Casa, Caparzo also marked another milestone: that of being one of the first wineries to introduce barrique in Montalcino, managing to create a wine with a gentle and elegant soul. Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa is the fruit of a unique terroir and expresses all the great passion and long experience of Caparzo in producing wines of excellence.
