First bottled in 1970, it remains the signature label of a historic winery in the area. It is the Brunello that best represents the winery's style, a true embodiment of the estate. Caparzo is one of the few wineries in Montalcino with vineyards located on various hillsides, with varying exposures, altitudes, and soils. This wealth allows us to select and blend the finest wines, creating a Brunello with a harmonious and balanced profile every year, regardless of the vintage's climatic conditions. Brunello di Montalcino is the fruit of the labor of a historic local winery, which has been producing wine in Montalcino for forty years. Caparzo manages a splendid estate of approximately 90 hectares, predominantly planted with Sangiovese Grosso, nestled in a wild and pristine natural setting. Brunello is made from a selection of grapes from four different parcels, located in areas with distinct microclimates and soil compositions. The vines are cultivated in the northern area in the Caparzo area; in the southwest in the La Caduta vineyard; in the southern area in the Il Cassero area; and finally in San Pietro on the eastern slope of the hill. After the manual harvest, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C, with maceration on the skins for approximately ten days. The wine ages for at least 36 months in large barrels and completes its refinement with 6 months in the bottle.
