Caparzo's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna la Casa opens to dark intensity with blackish-garnet undertones. The wine exhibits muscle and power with a large array of aromatic qualities that include dried cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, licorice and tar. It aspires to high complexity and intensity and it delivers on that promise. In the mouth, it shows beautifully tame tannins and a silky texture. Brunello Vigna la Casa lasts many long minutes on the palate. The wine should hold steadily over the next 15 years. FEB 2015<br/>

There's plenty of cherry and strawberry fruit at the core of this red, wrapped in a cloak of tannins. Vibrant and elegant, but a bit rigid today. Best from 2018 through 2035. 2,500 cases made.
Producer
Caparzo
Originally known as the Ca’ Pazzo or the Madman’s House, this cooler Montalcino property is now home to the respected Caparzo wine estate. Established in the late 1960s, by a group of Tuscan wine enthusiasts, the then run-down vineyards were quickly restored, modernized and expanded. Within a few years Caparzo made a name for itself in the Brunello market. Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini bought the estate in 1998, and she continues to manage the 190-hectare property with the help of her two children, Igino and Alessandra. Divided amongst several sites, the 76-hectares of vineyards lie mostly in Montalcino, with a mere 5-hectares in Buonconvento. Elisabetta combines tradition with innovation, crafting expressive Montalcino wines of the upmost quality. Enologist Vittorio Fiore leads vinification producing many impressive reds. Amongst their top Brunellos, distinguished for its elegance, textural beauty and overall finesse, the single-vineyard Brunello from the La Casa is one of the country’s best.
