At the time, there were only 13 wineries in Montalcino, and this makes Caparzo one of the historic Brunello producers. The distinguishing characteristic of Caparzo's Brunello di Montalcino is the origin of its Sangiovese. Indeed, the estate is one of the few in Montalcino that has vineyards in the various geographic areas of the Appellation. What might seem to be just a detail is instead quite positive, because the different locations of Caparzo's vineyards allow the estate to draw the most from the different microclimates and terroirs present in Montalcino. The grapes harvested from the vineyards in the various areas of the Appellation are carefully selected to lay the foundations for a complex wine that brings together all of the characteristics that make Brunello one of the world's most sought after wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruby, tending towards garnet with age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBOUQUET: \u003c\/b\u003ePenetrating, ample, and very complex, with echoes of wild berry fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePALATE: \u003c\/b\u003eDry, warm, firm, harmonious, delicate and austere, and persistent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOOD-WINE PAIRING:\u003c\/b\u003e Roasts, grilled and spit-roasted meats, game, braised meats, aged cheeses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSERVING TEMPERATURE: \u003c\/b\u003e18C (64F), best if opened 1 - 2 hours before served.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e95 Points - James Suckling: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A bright red with firm, integrated tannins that provide length and focus.

Prior to joining the family domaine, Thibault studied viticulture and oenology for six years, and worked for a communications firm in Paris where he was able to present and taste wines internationally. In his mid-twenties, Thibault also started an internet company with the idea of discovering and selling high quality wines. But the calling of the vines was still strong, so in 2001, at the age of 26, Thibault decided to jump to the other side of the fence, this time to make wine, his true calling and passion. The year 2002 was the first harvest of the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Charmottes, as well as Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas. In 2003, the domaine enriched its range with Richebourg Grand Cru, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Petits Monts, and Bourgogne Rouge.

After being sold as national property during the French Revolution, it was acquired by the Faller brothers in 1898 who then left it to their son and nephew, Théo. Théo Faller was a prominent figure in Alsace winegrowing and an ardent defender of quality wine production. After his death in 1979, his wife Colette, his daughters Catherine and Laurence, and their team continued the family’s passion for the great wines of Alsace and its unrelenting commitment to excellence.

It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18-20°C. It achieves its best expression when served with red meats, particularly game, and with dishes dressed with truffle. It is also excellent with fresh egg pasta and meat sauce, and with risotto, as well as medium-mature cow’s milk and goat’s milk cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Wine Advocate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Showing elegant richness and a velvety consistency, the Massolino 2020 Barolo ages in large oak botti for 30 months. The wine represents a blend of fruit from Serralunga d'Alba (Collaretto, Briccolina, Broglio and Le Turne) and one site in Castiglione Falletto. Elegance is underlined in this wine that shows wild berry, dried blueberry and a sweet touch of lilac over a medium-dark finish. The wine's texture manages to be direct and linear but generous at the same time. This is a large release of 90,000 bottles and a good value for money.\" - Monica Larner (Jan 2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - James Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bright and lively red fruit character with dried flowers, stones and hints of tree resin.
