Caparzo

Caparzo is a wine producer with vineyards in Montalcino, whose first Brunello di Montalcino vintage was 1970, when the town had only 13 wineries. The group is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, while oenologist Massimo Bracalente personally selects grapes.

The estate covers approximately 200 hectares, including 90 hectares of vineyards in the municipality of Montalcino. In the cellar, red grapes are destemmed and fermented at controlled temperatures for about eight days, with pump-overs and punch-downs. Its wines include Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa, first produced in 1977, and Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, whose first vintage was 1980. With La Casa, Caparzo was also among the first wineries to introduce barriques to Montalcino.
