As an expression of the prestigious Brunello di Montalcino denomination, it stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003epowerful and complex bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e, where clear hints of wild berries blend with finely integrated oak notes. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious and refined, offering a \u003cstrong\u003esip of great balance\u003c\/strong\u003e that unfolds towards a long and rounded finish. Its pronounced personality makes it the ideal companion to enhance structured dishes such as roasts, game and flavourful \u003cstrong\u003eaged cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is produced in Montalcino from vineyards located in various strategic areas of the region. The winery makes the most of a \u003cstrong\u003eblend of different plots\u003c\/strong\u003e, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of estates such as Caparzo, Il Cassero, La Caduta and San Piero Caselle, situated at varying altitudes. The soils have heterogeneous compositions ranging from \u003cstrong\u003ePliocene-origin formations\u003c\/strong\u003e to schist-sandstone matrices rich in stones. This skilful combination of exposures and soils gives the Sangiovese a solid tannic texture, supported by \u003cstrong\u003efreshness and ageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting about a week, during which great care is taken with the grape seeds, which are removed if not perfectly ripe. Through regular pumping over and a prolonged maceration on the skins for a further fifteen days, the must increases its extraction and structure. After spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for three years in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian and French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process concludes with an appropriate \u003cstrong\u003erest in glass\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential phase to refine the harmony and aromatic complexity before tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA historic producer since 1970, Caparzo boasts a valuable peculiarity: the ownership of estates located in various areas of Montalcino. This characteristic allows for the masterful blending of \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes grown in multiple \u003cstrong\u003emicroclimates\u003c\/strong\u003e and at different altitudes, from the heights of La Caduta to the warmer slopes of Il Cassero. The vines, which sink their roots into complex \u003cstrong\u003ePliocene\u003c\/strong\u003e and schist soils under the guidance of oenologist Massimo Bracalente, give the wine a distinctive profile. The harmonious union of these outstanding territories brings out the very best of authentic Tuscan excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Caparzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44513306509483,"sku":"49016","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/caparzo-brunello-di-montalcino-2019_49016_1_9a4baea9-0cb9-4025-9b80-9f7aab644ed4.webp?v=1773724244","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/caparzo-brunello-di-montalcino-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
