This is really pretty, with cherry, peach, and orange-peel character. It’s medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a long, long finish. Creamy and so polished. It goes on for minutes. A graceful and complex 2020 Brunello. Is this better than the 2019? Drink after 2027, but already beautiful to taste.
96pts Jeb Dunnuck
A jeweled red color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino La Casa is ripe and pure with notes of preserved cherries, violets, fresh leather, and sweet herbs. I love this wine, which has a wonderfully approachable feel and crystalline but ripe fruit shining all the way through it. A real charmer with ripe tannins, even seamless acidity, and a great finish, it's beautiful now but has a lot of life ahead of it. Bravo. Drink 2025-2045.
95pts Wine Spectator
Though compact and tightly knit, this red delivers a beam of strawberry, raspberry, mineral and spice flavors, and there's a hint of milk chocolate as this plays out on the finish. Offers beautiful balance and a resonant aftertaste. Best from 2028 through 2046. 1,666 cases made, 416 cases imported.
94pts Wine Advocate
From a single-vineyard site that is recognized by the old Tuscan farmhouse nestled among the vines, this is a more concentrated and fleshed-out expression of Sangiovese. The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa opens to dark fruit aromas, sweet earth and toasted oak. The finish is not too powerful, and that's exactly what gives this wine its elegant mouthfeel. Annual production hovers around 14,000 bottles.
94pts Vinous
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa is dark and imposing, placing earth tones, crushed rocks and savory spice before its notes of flinty wild berry fruits. It's silky-smooth, nearly creamy in feel, with masses of mineral-tinged cherry and strawberry tones as a hint of exotic spice emerges toward the close. The 2020 tapers off wonderfully perfumed and long, mixing violets and lavender with nuances of sour citrus over a bed of fine-grained tannins. The balance here is otherworldly.
93pts Decanter
On the opposite side of the Montosoli hill from sister estate Altesino, Caparzo’s five hectares face south to southeast towards the town of Montalcino. The 2020 speaks to its warmer exposition with aromas of ripe blackcurrants and deep violets punctuated by juniper and flint. Rich and smooth, the palate sees brambly berries repeat, with a soupçon of chocolate in the background. There's sufficient mid-palate concentration but overall it is medium in weight, and its suede-like tannins supply a textured tug on the finish.
