Caparzo

Caparzo emerged in the late 1960s from the purchase of an old farm with vineyards; the first Brunello was produced in 1970. The estate has belonged to Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini since 1998. It covers around 200 hectares, including approximately 90 hectares of vines distributed across several vineyard sites in Montalcino. The vines are trained on trellises, with an average planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare, carefully tended and selectively hand-harvested. In the cellar, Caparzo combines traditional large wooden casks with modern cellar technology. The early separate vinification of the La Casa vineyard site is a defining feature: as early as 1977, it produced one of Montalcino’s first cru Brunellos.
