Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a refined, unfortified Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most prestigious appellations, balancing firm structure with warmth and elegance. Made from fruit drawn from several Montalcino sites, it brings together the character of different elevations and microclimates—a hallmark of Caparzo’s approach since the estate’s founding in 1970.

Tasting Notes
A powerful, complex bouquet brings together wild-berry aromas and subtly integrated oak. Dry and harmonious on the palate, the wine is balanced and refined, with a substantial tannic structure and a long, rounded finish. Its structure and freshness suggest good potential to develop further with careful cellaring.

Production
The Sangiovese comes from Caparzo vineyards in different parts of Montalcino, including Caparzo, Il Cassero, La Caduta and San Piero Caselle. Their varying elevations and exposures, along with soils ranging from Pliocene formations to stony schist and sandstone, contribute structure and freshness. Fermentation is temperature-controlled and lasts around a week, followed by regular pump-overs and an additional 15 days of skin maceration. After spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for three years in Slavonian and French oak, then rests in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
Serve with roasts, game or well-aged cheeses; its structure also suits other richly flavoured dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for about an hour before drinking to let the aromas open and the tannins soften.

Producer
Caparzo has been producing wine in Montalcino since 1970. Its holdings across distinct parts of the region allow the winery to blend Sangiovese from different elevations and microclimates, combining the character of warmer slopes with fruit from higher sites. This multi-site approach is central to the estate’s expression of Montalcino.
