Caparzo's Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna la Casa can be considered a
true enological gem, and not just in terms of Montalcino. La Casa derives
its name from having been the farm where some of the tenant farmers who
worked for the owners of Palazzo Montosoli, which is at a distance of a
few hundred feet, lived. The first vintage of Brunello di Montalcino Vigna
La Casa was produced in 1977. At the time little was known of terroir, and
little attention was paid to the concept of zonation, which had only recently
been introduced to Montalcino. In this case, Caparzo was once again a
pacesetter, producing a “Single Vineyard” Brunello from one of the finest
vineyards in the appellation. With Brunello di Montalcino La Casa,
Caparzo also was one of the first wineries to introduce barriques to
Montalcino, producing a wine with a polite, elegant spirit. Brunello di
Montalcino Vigna La Casa is the fruit of a unique terroir and expresses
all of Caparzo's passion and experience in producing excellent wines.
