Established in 1970, Caparzo is one of Montalcino's 30 historic wineries, and is amongst those that contributed to the fame of Brunello di Montalcino. Purchased by the current owner
Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini in 1998 after a period of dilapidation, she was determined to grow, improve and develop this estate back to its former glory. Investment in the vineyard, modernisation in the winery and the help of winemaker Massimo Bracalente have all ensured that Caparzo is now enjoying a comeback as a top Brunello producer. The Caparzo estate covers 200 hectares, 90 hectares are vineyards and 9 are designated for Brunello, distributed throughout different hillsides in the DOCG, ranging from 220 to 300 metres above sea level.
Owning vineyards in Caparzo, La Casa, La Caduta, Il Cassero and San Piero Caselle, which constitute almost all of Montalcino's best areas, is most certainly one of Caparzo’s strong points. This selection of the best vineyards, allows Caparzo to draw the best fruit from every vintage.
