The Rosso di Montalcino from Caparzo embodies the philosophy of a house that has been one of the pioneers of modern Montalcino since 1970. Under the visionary leadership of Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, wines are created here that perfectly express the terroir understanding of the various micro-locations. This Rosso is far more than just the "little brother" of the legendary Brunello – it is a wine of character in its own right, combining the youthful freshness of the Sangiovese grape with the complexity of different vineyards. The grapes come from three strategically selected vineyards that cover the entire spectrum of the Caparzo terroirs: In the north, the Caparzo site at an altitude of 220 metres, in the south Il Cassero at 270 metres and in the east San Piero-Caselle at 250 metres. This diversity of locations – from the warmer, early-ripening sites to the higher, cooler terroirs – enables the cellar team to create the optimum blend depending on the character of the vintage.

After traditional vinification in stainless steel tanks followed by malolactic fermentation, the 2024 is a lively ruby red wine with violet reflections. The bouquet reveals classic Sangiovese elegance: intense aromas of red cherries and strawberries blend with floral notes and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced with a medium body, silky tannins and lively acidity. A Rosso that perfectly embodies the Caparzo philosophy: technical perfection with a great sense of terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Rosso di Montalcino is perfumed, with dusty violet and lavender giving way to citrus-tinged blackberries. This exhibits impressive depth and silken textures, with a complementary mix of peppery wild berry fruits and juicy acidity. It finishes with staining length and a licorice concentration that lingers incredibly long." Vinous

"A graceful wine with flavours of roses and strawberries, not too layered or complex, but delicious and flawless. Light to medium-bodied, crisp and crunchy, it demands a second glass." James Suckling
