Mind-blowing aromas of crushed berries, meat, blackberry and violet. Full-bodied, with layers of incredibly velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is so complex and long, and the mouthfeel is spellbinding. Develops wonderfully in the glass, becoming more and more rich with air. One of the greatest Brunellos I have ever tasted. Best after 2012. 2,000 cases made. ?JS

The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is another remarkable wine. It is a ripe, ample Brunello with tons of fruit. Compared to the broad-shouldered 1999, the 2001 possesses a touch greater detail and more finesse in its tannins. This is a beautifully delineated, chiseled wine of the highest level. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.
Producer
Valdicava
Along the foothills of Montalcino, among the leading producers of the region, the Valdicava estate is idyllically-situated, crafting extraordinary wines year after year. The 10-hectare property has been used to produce wine since 1953, when Bramante Abbruzzese followed his family’s sharecropper roots back to this very plot. Valdicava is actually the name of the valley where the estate has their best holdings. These parcels, the Madonna del Piano, Montosoli, La Casa and Vigna del Lago produce the greatest single-vineyard Brunellos. Today, the winery is managed by his grandson, Vincenzo Abbruzzese. With major renovations made in both the vineyards and cellar, he has transformed Valdicava into one of leading Brunello di Montalcino producers. Characterized by their infinite balance between body and aroma, the wines are nurtured by traditional values and produced using the latest technologies. The exclusive cultivation of the Sangiovese variety, blended with the forward dedicated thinking of Vincenzo, has led to Valdicava’s unrivaled productions of Brunello di Montalcino.
