Tenuta
Caparzo
The Caparzo site is named for the Ca’
Pazzo, or madman’s house, that once stood here in
the cooler northern part of Montalcino. The large estate
that now resides here was founded in the late 70’s
by a diverse group of businessmen, none of them of Tuscan
origin but all with an eye to the future of the zone’s
great traditional wines. The founders shared a shrewd understanding
of commerce that begot an inherently Tuscan wine with an
international flair. Enologist Vittorio Fiore meshed perfectly
with this vision and has since developed a delightful line
of classic wines. Tenuta Caparzo’s 190 hectares, of
which 76 are vineyards (71 in Montalcino and 5 in Buonconvento),
are divided among several sites. Modern vinification lives
harmoniously with traditional methods in the cellar, where
the best possible techniques are chosen for each individual
bottling. The greatest achievment of this estate is hands-down
the Brunello from the La Casa vineyard, having received
top ratings from the most respected wine critics worldwide.
Caparzo’s is one of the best Brunellos for the dollar.
