Kraftig og balanceret Brunello med koncentreret bærfrugt og noter af tobak og læder. Fire forskellige kloner af sangiovese grosso-druen indgår i Valdicavas Brunello. Druerne kommer fra marker med ældre vinstokke, hvoraf nogle er næsten 50 år gamle.
Vinificeret på temperaturkontrollerede ståltanke og herefter lagret i 4 år på henholdsvis barriques og brugte slavonske egefade og dernæst på flaske er dette en både elegant og kraftig vin med en balanceret syrestruktur og koncentrerede nuancer af røde og mørke bær, blommer, lakrids, vanilje, tobak og læder samt et strejf af jord.

A juicy, young Brunello with berry, dried mushroom and flower character. Orange peel, too. Full body, firm and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. So complex and beautiful. It goes on for minutes. I love the balance that makes it so enjoyable to try now but it will age for decades ahead. Try to leave it until 2021.

Valdicava's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautifully saturated expression that opens to a dark garnet appearance and a soothing, velvety texture. The bouquet is packed tight with dark berry nuances, starting with ripe cherry and extending to black fruit tones of fresh prune and plum. The wine's strongest cards are its texture, structure and its power. This is a cool vintage that produced very fine and accessible wines. This expression, however, shows a very different personality with ample volume and long staying power. Some 56,100 bottles were produced.

Deep red. Ample aromas of blackberry, red cherry, and violet, plus a whiff of violet. Dense, creamy and concentrated, offering savory flavors of ripe red cherry, licorice and cocoa lifted by nicely integrated acidity. Finishes quite fleshy, with youthfully chewy tannins and outstanding length. This Brunello may not be the last word in refinement, but it is hard to argue with its early appeal and deliciousness.
Wine Spectator - 92
This is fresh and harmonious, evoking cherry, plum, leather, iron and coffee notes. The tannins are well-integrated with the rich texture and the finish is long and tinged with tobacco. Best from 2020 through 2033. 4,675 cases made, 1,800 cases imported.
