THE STORY

You probably aren’t thinking about Brunello during the summer heat wave – which is precisely why we can offer such a fantastic deal on this terrific wine. Hey, in this business you have to seize opportunities when they come along. So summertime Brunello it is

Tenuta de Caparzo is a picturesque 40 year old estate with a wide range of Brunello bottlings. This effort is their regular label, much lower in price from their famous high-end "La Casa" bottling. Fear not though, even the regular Caparzo delivers the goods – at the regular $44.99 price!

In the glass the wine showed opaque ruby red color with hints of browning on the rim. The nose boasted ripe fruit aromas of strawberry, cassis, and cherry. Once in the mouth, more cassis fruit and candied cherries carried through the mid-palate. This is definitely not a fruit bomb. Oak provides for a velvety mouth feel and soft tannins provide structure. All the pieces are in place for this elegant wine. The finish is supple and long. A great showing.

Loved by all critics as well (see below), this superb Caparzo 2005 for $29.99 is one of the greatest Brunello deals you’ll ever find!

Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino 2005

Caparzo Brunello Di Montalcino 2005

“The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is surprisingly dark in profile for this bottling. A sweet, Pinot-like bouquet leads to perfumed black cherries, spices, licorice and tobacco. This mid-weight, graceful Brunello offers gorgeous balance, with an expressive core of fruit that flows through to a long, refined close. The 2005 is one of best versions of this wine I have tasted in some time. In 2005 the estate did not make either their Riserva (usually a selection of barrels in the cellar) or their La Casa single-vineyard selection, and the addition of that fruit here undoubtedly contributes to the wine’s overall sense of harmony. The rest of the fruit was sourced from the Il Cassero and Caparzo vineyards. Though not a blockbuster, this is a very elegant Brunello. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.” 92 Points Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate

“Medium ruby-red. Spicy red cherry and floral aromas are bright and enticing. Then sweet and juicy in the mouth, with flavors of ripe red cherry, raspberry jam and cinnamon. Finishes long and clean, with a hint of coffee. A lovely wine with very good balance and above-average concentration for the vintage; I especially like its upfront fruity charm.” 90 Points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Journal

“Plum and ripe berry notes, with hints of strawberry jam, follow through to a full body, with a solid core of ripe fruit, chewy yet polished tannins and a long finish. This is deep and rich. Best after 2012.” 92 Points Wine Spectator
