Caparzo, Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna La Casa", 2004

Vigna La Casa is Caparzo’s flagship single-vineyard Brunello, planted high on the Montosoli hill—one of the most prized zones in all of Montalcino. The 2004 vintage was classic and balanced, offering wines built to evolve gracefully. Now with two decades of bottle age, this Brunello is in a gorgeous place, where fruit, structure, and tertiary notes come together in seamless harmony.

Dried cherry, fig, and blood orange unfold alongside leather, balsamic herbs, and a touch of tobacco. The tannins have softened into a velvety frame, but there’s still plenty of structure to carry the wine through a long, savory finish. Decant gently to let it stretch out, and pair with aged cheeses, game, or porcini-rich dishes. A beautifully mature Brunello that wears its pedigree—and its age—with quiet confidence.
