Caparzo has crafted a beautiful, albeit simple, single-vineyard Brunello in this vintage. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna la Casa is a plump and enriched red wine with juicy fruit flavors of blackberry, dried cherry, spice, leather and moist earth. The wine is very likable, yet it offers a more approachable style and less nuanced complexity as a result. I found less dimension here compared to some of its peers. However, I would gladly drink this bottle with a steaming plate of homemade fettuccine with wild boar ragù. That pairing would be delicious.
