Tasting notes
Caparzo's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa is a firm and powerful wine with medium-plus concentration and dark fruit flavors. The wine reveals blackberry, baked plum, earthy notes and dried tobacco. The tannins feel open-knit and velvety, and the wine is drinking beautifully at the moment.

Caparzo's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna la Casa opens to dark intensity with blackish-garnet undertones. The wine exhibits muscle and power with a large array of aromatic qualities that include dried cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, licorice and tar. It aspires to high complexity and intensity and it delivers on that promise. In the mouth, it shows beautifully tame tannins and a silky texture. Brunello Vigna la Casa lasts many long minutes on the palate. (ML)
Concentrated, youthful ruby with orange tinges. Soft spicy nose but unwilling to show it all for the moment. Intense, ripe strawberry fruit palate framed by powdery tannins. Could do with a little bit more freshness, but certainly is impressively concentrated without going over the top. (WS)
Intense aromas of iron, rust, earth and dark, dried fruits. It's full-bodied, with incredible depth of fruit, berries and lemon peel. Drink or hold. A beautiful Brunello. So much going on here. Gorgeous.
