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, and this makes Caparzo one of the historic Brunello producers. The distinguishing
characteristic of Caparzo's Brunello di Montalcino is clearly the origin of its Sangiovese. Indeed,
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 instead quite positive, because the
different locations of Caparzo's vineyards allow the estate to draw the most from the different
microclimates and terroirs present in Montalcino. The grapes harvested from the vineyards in
the various areas of the appellation are carefully selected to lay the foundations for a complex
wine that brings together all of the characteristics that make Brunello one of the the world's
most sought after wines.
