A longtime favorite from Montalcino, Valdicava is situated on the slopes of Montosoli—the region’s most prestigious site. Founded by Bramante Abbruzzese, the estate remains in the family and has been recognized by Robert Parker as one of the top Brunello producers. Committed to organic farming, native yeasts, and meticulous cellar practices, the Abbruzzese family crafts a powerful yet pure expression of Sangiovese. Aged traditionally in large Slavonian oak barrels, the 2013 Brunello comes from a classic vintage and offers layered notes of macerated dark cherry, balsamic, and leather—an elegant and age-worthy wine that’s both captivating and collectible.
