Valdicava
About Valdicava
Described by Robert Parker as “top three or four Brunello di Montalcino producers”, the estate of Valdicava, sits right in the very top tier of Brunello wineries.
Currently in the loving hands of Vincenzo Abbruzzese, Valdicava is located in the northern part of Montalcino. The estate overlooks Tuscany at an altitude of 300m. At this height, the vineyards of Valdicava enjoys a cooler climate than most Brunello peers. Valdicava is probably most known for their stunning Riserva Madonna del Piano which consistently rivals the finest wines made anywhere in Brunello di Montalcino.

Wine Advocate (96+)The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano continues to develop very positively. This huge, concentrated Madonna del Piano dazzles for the richness of its fruit and the delineation of its aromas. The clean, vibrant finish suggests many years of cellaring potential. The Valdicava Brunellos are often misunderstood when young because they possess so much richness, but with time in bottle the wines turn more delicate and complete. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. |

James Suckling (100)A wine with superb finesse and depth. So subtle and understated yet powerful and long. The tannin intensity is amazing. It just builds like a massive wave. Superb. Give this time in the bottle. The length is endless. Better in 2018. |
