About Caparzo
The Caparzo site is named for the Ca’ Pazzo, or madman’s house, that once stood here in the cooler northern part of Montalcino. The large estate that now resides here was founded in the late 70’s by a diverse group of businessmen, none of them of Tuscan origin but all with an eye to the future of the zone’s great traditional wines. The founders shared a shrewd understanding of commerce that begot an inherently Tuscan wine with an international flair. Enologist Vittorio Fiore meshed perfectly with this vision and has since developed a delightful line of classic wines. Tenuta Caparzo’s 190 hectares, of which 76 are vineyards (71 in Montalcino and 5 in Buonconvento), are divided among several sites. Modern vinification lives harmoniously with traditional methods in the cellar, where the best possible techniques are chosen for each individual bottling. The greatest achievment of this estate is hands-down the Brunello from the La Casa vineyard, having received top ratings from the most respected wine critics worldwide. Caparzo’s is one of the best Brunellos for the dollar. |
