Wine Spectator, June 2026

There’s plenty of red fruit flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, with hints of wood smoke, tobacco and iron. Firmly built, with vibrant acidity and a line of dusty tannins. This is elegant overall and super long...

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is peppery and floral, mixing dried herbs, exotic spices, crushed rocks and wild strawberries. Wonderfully lifted and graceful, it offers cooling acidity and pretty wild berry fruits...

Caparzo produced its first vintage of Brunello di Montalcino in 1970, when the situation in Montalcino was very different than it is now. At the time there were only 13 wineries in Montalcino, thus Caparzo is one of the historic Brunello producers. The distinguishing characteristic of Caparzo's Brunello di Montalcino is clearly the origin of its Sangiovese.

The estate is one of the few in Montalcino that has vineyards in the various geographic areas of the appellation. What might seem to be just a detail is actually quite positive, because the different locations of Caparzo's vineyards allow the estate to draw from most of the different microclimates and terroirs present in Montalcino.

The grapes are carefully selected to lay the foundations for a complex wine that brings together all the characteristics that make Brunello one of the world's most sought after wines.
