The first vintage produced of Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa was 1977. At that time little was known about terroir and little attention was paid to the concept of zoning, which has only been introduced in Montalcino in recent years. Caparzo was again a pioneering winery in producing one of the first 'Single Vineyard' Brunello di Montalcino in one of the most privileged vineyards in the municipality. With the Brunello di Montalcino La Casa, Caparzo also marked another milestone: that of being one of the first wineries to introduce barrique in Montalcino, managing to create a wine with a gentle and elegant soul.
