ON SALE - Vintage Caparzo Brunello

Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino - Buy 6 and Pay only for 4!**

Prime vineyard land on perfect south/south-east facing slopes combined with progressive adaptation of the latest innovations in growing and winemaking have given Caparzo the reputation and respect it has today. Caparzo is the only estate-bottled producer of Brunello di Montalcino to have estate vineyards on all five sides of the hill of Montalcino, giving them optimal exposure and flexibility.

Only the best grapes are used for the Riserva, which spends three years in traditional Slavonian and French oak casks, producing powerful, full-bodied wine that pairs perfectly with roasts, grilled meats, game, and ripe cheeses.

The La Casa comes from a location of the same name on the Montosoli hill in Montalcino. It is first aged for twelve months in French barriques and then eighteen months in French oak barrels, producing a varied and penetrating wine.

JJ Buckley is offering Caparzo's top two wines from two of the best vintages in Brunello - the 1999 and 2001 vintages are possibly the finest series of Brunello di Montalcino ever produced - at unbeatable prices. This amazing offer doesn't last long, so enjoy it while it lasts!

**To receive the discount, simply mix and match 6 bottles of either wine and a discount of 33.33% will be automatically applied in the shopping cart. Sale lasts only until Wednesday, October 10th, at midnight EST.

ITALY - TUSCANY

2001 Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino la Casa Sangiovese Grosso 750ml - $69.99 (or buy 6 at $46.66)
Wine Advocate, Dec 2006, 91 points: "The estate’s top bottling, the 2001 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa, is a strong effort. More concentrated than the normal bottling, it offers notable finesse in its suggestions of flowers, spices, red fruits and well-integrated oak. Deceptively understated, it gives the impression of still having much to say, and a few years of cellaring are recommended.. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020."

1999 Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Sangiovese Grosso 750ml - $84.99 (or buy 6 at $56.66)
Wine & Spirits, Oct 2007, 92 points: "A modern wine with a core of sweet cherry flavor, this is juicy and fresh. The ruby color and the gentle smoothness of the tannin make it feel ageless, a touch of orange rind the only hint of maturity. Probably at its best over the next several years, to decant for roast beef."
