The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. Caparzo is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, she also owns Altesino. Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas with cedar, herbs and smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate cherry, plum & cranberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice, herbs and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine approachable tannins, long ending with spicy mineral oak finish. — 3 years ago

Quite similar colour to the Montosoli , with wider garnet rim than the Lume Spento . Quite dense and darker fruits , more plum , cherry and dried herbs, cedar . On the palate this has more density and extract , more tannin too . Darker fruits , dark cherry , plum , cedar and liquorice . More instense and structured than the others . Really quite intense and long on the palate . Again balanced fresh acidity , a more generous personality than the Montosoli perhaps , juicier , darker fruit. Needs another 5 years and will show well for a further 10-15. — 4 months ago

Again slightly wider more garnet rim . More high toned , touches of spiced cherry , again herbal touches, more animal , menthol and a denser personality. Quite dense on the palate , rounder and slightly darker deeper fruit , spiced dark cherry , plum and herbal hints . More body and density in the palate , more juicy but drier more present , grippy tannin also, fresh acidity . After a while this also becomes quite restrained and reserved , showing a more mineral , saline side . Good cedar and mineral tinged length . This is the wine that today has the most hidden , will require patience . Very promising however , impeccably balanced . Needs more time, 5 -8 years or so and will show well a further 10 -15 or so . — 4 months ago

Medium-bright ruby in the glass. Tart red cherry, raspberry, and vanilla on the nose, with smoky spice and hints of tobacco and dried fig. Juicy red fruit dominates, supported by high acidity, medium tannins, and a medium-plus finish. Alcohol is prominent, adding intensity. Needs ample air—after 45 minutes, it was still opening up. A bold, structured Brunello that will benefit from decanting or aging. — 9 months ago
