Sensory Description:

The 2013 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino opens with a powerful and structured palate, featuring dominant flavors of plums and black cherries. This is beautifully interwoven with deep, aromatic notes of leather and spice, creating a profound and engaging experience. The wine demonstrates a remarkable balance, carrying a robust body that is typical of the care and attention devoted to its vineyard management.

Serving Suggestions:

To fully appreciate the complexity and depth of the 2013 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino, decant for at least an hour before serving at 18°C (64°F). This wine pairs exceptionally with rich, savory dishes such as braised meats, game, and mature cheeses, which complement its rich fruit flavors and earthy undertones.

Winemaker’s Background:

The legacy of Valdicava is deeply rooted in the Montosoli area, north of Montalcino, where Vincenzo Abbruzzese has elevated the estate to its prestigious status. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Martini Bramante, who established the estate's focus on Sangiovese Grosso, Vincenzo has continued to refine the Valdicava style since taking over in 1987. His dedication to organic farming and non-interventionist winemaking has yielded Brunellos that beautifully balance traditional characteristics with modern potency and immediate approachability, alongside great ageing potential.

This 2013 release is a testament to Valdicava's ongoing commitment to excellence and its status as a touchstone for connoisseurs of fine Tuscan wines.
