“Aromas of crushed stones, cherries, blueberries, and orange zest. Juicy and vibrant, with a medium body and round tannins. Lovely purity of fruit. Drink now.”

“ Aromas of iris, red-skinned berry, and underbrush emerge from the glass. The juicy palate offers raspberry jam, baking spice, and orange zest alongside polished tannins. Enjoy through 2027.”
About The Winery
The origins of the place named Caparzo are still unknown. According to some, the name is derived, as shown by ancient maps, from Ca' Pazzo; according to others, the term should derive from the Latin Caput Arsum, indicating 'a place touched by sun'. The history of Caparzo dates back to the end of the 1960s at the dawning of Brunello di Montalcino, when a group of friends, fond of Tuscany and of wine, purchased an old ruin with vineyards at Montalcino. The farm estate was renovated, modernized, and new vineyards were planted. In a short time, Caparzo made itself known in the Brunello market. In 1998, 30 years after the first rows of vines were planted, the farm estate came to a turning point when Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini purchased Caparzo. With the help of her son, Igino, and daughter, Alessandra, she immediately carried out her objective: combining tradition with innovation to create a high-quality wine that is the expression of an excellent territory.
