Tenuta di Caparzo, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Tasting note:
A medium bodied wine with dried strawberry and dried cherry aromas with background tones of game, dried herb, potting soil, cedar wood and light spice. A very classic interpretation that delivers the goods without any distracting bells or whistles, textbook Brunello from an excellent year with suitable bottle age to do the wine justice.
Producer:
Caparzo is one of the original 13 Brunello wineries and, almost uniquely, has vineyards in all the best areas giving their Brunello a real expression of the region. This wine comes from the vineyards of Carpazo, La Caduta, Il Cassero, and San Piero Caselle and after fermentation has spent 3 years in large Slavonian and French oak barrels before several months in bottle before release. Ruby in colour with expressive aromas of wild berry fruit with floral hints, and earthy, minerally notes. The palate is dry, broad and firm with great structure and complexity, grippy, persistent tannins and a long length. This is a lovely example of classic winemaking where the oak does not overpower the fruit.
