Sangiovese Toscana 2014 75cl

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.
