Caparzo
Toscana | Italy
The name of the estate apparently derives from
‘Ca’ Pazzo’, as shown on some ancient maps. The vineyards, the
cellars and all the agricultural equipment were installed at the end
of the 1960s and are continuously updated, both in the countryside
and in the winery. The estate covers an area of 190 hectares (475
acres), 54 of which are vineyards, 4 are of olive groves, 87 of
which are wooded and 45 of which are to be planted with new vines.
Caparzo is the only estate-bottled producer of Brunello di Montacino
to have estate vineyards on all five sides of the hill of
Montalcino, ensuring that no matter what climatic challenges effect
one side, the other vineyards will more than compensate. The Caparzo
vineyards cover an area of 49 hectares(125 acres) around the town of
Montalcino and 5 ha (15 acres) in the territory of Buonconvento.
