Breathtaking purity of fruit here with such depth and presence. Full-bodied, yet you don’t see it. Weightless, this has a solid core of fruit plus refined and intense tannins that build in the finish. It’s rather endless and seamless. Give this four or five years to come around, but if you have a chance to taste it, don’t hold back. Best after 2028 and beyond.

Laced with black cherry, blackberry, violet and iron flavors, this red is lush and velvety. There's a strong base of fine-grained tannins and an impressive core of fruit that goes on seemingly for minutes on the finish. An enticing combination of impressive fruit and structure. Best from 2027 through 2045. 2,700 cases made, 800 cases imported.
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.
