Caparzo 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $97
Soft, supple and persistent, this gorgeous Riserva Brunello offers intensity and genuine territorial characteristics. Aromas include cherry cola, spice and loads of balsam notes such as eucalyptus and menthol. It’s tight and determined in the mouth and this impression is reinforced by fresh acidity and silky tannins.

Caparzo 1994 La Casa Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $76
A single-vineyard Brunello that is pure dynamite this wine accomplishes two things: It shows that 1994 was not nearly as bad a vintage in Tuscany as some would have us believe, and it reinforces Caparzo’s deserved reputation as master winemakers. With bold fruit and grabbing tannins, this is a beauty with highly extracted fruit and a luscious licorice aroma and flavor.

Caparzo 2006 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $85
This shows bright Sangiovese tones of crisp berry and forest floor, followed by subtle touches of spice, leather, black licorice, dried ginger and rosemary. The true character and freshness of the Sangiovese fruit comes through loud and clear.

Caparzo 2006 Vigna La Casa Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $94
This opens with elegant and finely tuned aromas of wild berry, dried ginger, smoked bacon and dried herb. It is still toasty and young at this point and will benefit from another 5–10 years of cellar aging. The tannins are smooth and polished.

Caparzo 1999 La Vigna Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $66
Floral and round, and eminently approachable at this early stage. The bouquet is rosy and sweet, while the palate is easygoing and fresh. Yet once you think its aging potential might be short, the finish drives on for a long distance, tossing up coffee and earth notes. Drinkable now, but can last for at least a decade.

- $45
Clean and elegant with polished tannins and a silky texture. Caparzo makes some of the nicest Brunello you will find in the USA. This vintage is characterized by bright berry tones and a lean but elegant feel in the mouth.
