CAPARZO BRUNELLO RISERVA DOCG 750 ml

Discover the enigmatic allure of Caparzo Brunello Riserva DOCG, a distinguished red wine hailing from Tuscany's sun-kissed landscapes in Italy. The estate's name evokes ancient mysteries—perhaps from "Ca' Pazzo" on old maps or the Latin "Caput Arsum," suggesting a sun-drenched haven. This sense of timeless wonder infuses every bottle.

In 1998, Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini took the helm at Caparzo, joined by her children Igino and Alessandra. Their vision fused heritage with forward-thinking approaches, crafting wines that capture the essence of their exceptional terroir. Only in exceptional years does this Riserva emerge, handpicked by winemaker Massimo Bracalente—a testament to selective excellence first realized in 1980.

Gaze upon its ruby hue, deepening to garnet over time. Inhale deeply: a bold, expansive bouquet unfolds with intricate layers hinting at wild berries. On the tongue, it reveals a dry warmth, sturdy yet graceful, balancing subtle finesse with resolute character and a lingering finish.

Critics shower it with acclaim.
