Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa 2021

Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa 2021 is a single-vineyard Sangiovese that combines the depth and structure of Brunello with a notably refined, fresh profile. First made in 1977, it was among the area’s early single-vineyard wines and remains a distinctive expression of the Monsindoli hillside.

Tasting Notes
The wine is ruby red, developing garnet tones with age. Its complex aromas bring together blackberry and cherry with hints of spice, vanilla, clove, liquorice and woodland floor. Dry, warm and enveloping on the palate, it balances ripe, velvety tannins with lively freshness and a lingering mineral finish. It has excellent ageing potential, though no specific drinking window is provided.

Production
The Sangiovese comes from a five-hectare parcel on the north-facing Monsindoli hillside, at around 275 metres above sea level. Galestro soils—schist and marl-rich clay—provide good drainage and are associated with the wine’s freshness, acidity and fine tannins. Grapes are hand-harvested, then fermented at controlled temperatures with délestage and pump-overs, followed by extended skin contact and spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Maturation takes place first in small barrels and then in large French oak casks, before bottle ageing; the absence of new oak is intended to preserve the purity of the fruit and the wine’s balance.

Food & Serving
Serve with roasts, game or well-aged cheeses. The wine’s structure and freshness make it a natural match for rich, savoury dishes. No specific serving temperature or decanting guidance is provided; consider allowing it time to open before serving.

Producer
Caparzo first made Vigna La Casa as a single-vineyard Brunello in 1977, an early example of this approach in the area. Produced only in particularly favourable vintages, it is made entirely from Sangiovese grown on the Monsindoli parcel. Its historical use of French barriques, paired with a current élevage that avoids new oak, reflects the aim of giving the wine an elegant, distinguished profile while keeping the vineyard’s character in focus.
