Wine Advocate (93)Caparzo is one of two properties in Montalcino owned by the beautiful and charming Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini. The other property is Altesino. This wine, the Caparzo 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is a very classic interpretation that delivers the goods without any distracting bells or whistles. The wine opens to red and purple fruit aromas with background tones of dried herb, potting soil, cedar wood and light spice. Fruit comes from a site with heavier clay soils, and you get hints of that extra density and richness here. This vintage offers all you need in a model Brunello from a very beautiful and generous vintage. I always admire the wines of Caparzo for their accessible and immediate drinking style. Some 160,000 bottles were corked in August 2019, and the wine hit the market in January 2020. |

Vinous (94)The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa takes a little time to collect itself in the glass, pulling you closer as white smoke gives way to crushed stone, then peppery florals, wild strawberry and cedar. The textures are like pure silk, with an elegant display of savory black cherry and spice complicated by salty minerals. This shows amazing density while never feeling heavy, nearly masking its fine-grained tannins until the very end, where hints of orange citrus and dried berries linger. The 2016 La Casa is a beauty with plenty of upside potential. |

Vinous (94.5)Good full ruby. Brooding aromas of cassis, menthol, chocolate and minerals. Dense and juicy but slightly hard at present, with a floral nuance and nicely integrated acidity lending precision to the red fruit and violet flavors. The slightly tough tannins and the dumbed down fruit leave an impression of medicinal austerity on the long mouthcoating finish. Needs time. |

An extraordinary accomplishment from the Tuscan vineyards of Caparzo, the Brunello di Montalcino La Casa 2016 is an expertly-made wine that exudes passion, quality, and traditional craftsmanship. Sourced from the sun-drenched hills of Montalcino, this exquisite vintage draws deeply from the rich terroir layered with mineral-rich clay and Galestro soils. Hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes mature on long-established vines, developing a complex flourish of flavours under the mindful gaze of esteemed winemaker Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini. The wine ferments in stainless steel vats to preserve its intense berry character, followed by a maturation process in French oak barrels - a refined touch that imparts a velvety texture and delicate spicy notes. The result is the Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino La Casa 2016, an expressive wine brimming with red fruits, balanced by earthy undertones and a sturdy yet fine-grained tannin backbone. The elegant finish serves as the final note in this harmonious symphony of flavours, promising an unrivaled enological experience. |
