Caparzo - Brunello di Montalcino La Casa 2017 (750ml)

Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino La Casa 2017

Wine.Spectator 94 points

"An intense, muscular red hallmarked by black currant, black cherry, stony mineral and sanguine flavors. Reveals a meaty character midpalate, with sinewy yet refined tannins holding court on the finish. Fine balance and length. Best from 2025 through 2042. 2,500 cases made, 600 cases imported."

"The Caparzo 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa offers more intensity and depth next to the annata expressions (also tasted in this report). It's not much, but there is enough of a difference to justify the special single-vineyard selection. Wild fruit, licorice and balsam herb add vertical lift to the bouquet. The magical sharpness and brightness of this wine is linked to the soils of Vigna La Casa, which are blanketed with shards of galestro schist. These soils mitigate the warm growing season. Production is 15,000 bottles."
