2021 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino from Valdicava is a powerful yet refined expression of one of the region’s most esteemed traditional estates. Owned and operated by Vincenzo Abbruzzese and his family since the 1960s, Valdicava has built a reputation for producing some of the most structured and age-worthy Brunellos in Montalcino. Located in the cooler northern zone near Montosoli—widely considered one of the appellation’s greatest vineyard areas—the estate benefits from galestro-rich soils and optimal elevation, which contribute to wines of depth, freshness, and complexity. Valdicava remains firmly rooted in a classic philosophy, favoring extended macerations and large Slavonian oak casks to preserve the purity of Sangiovese and the integrity of terroir. The 2021 vintage in Montalcino is already being heralded as exceptional, offering a balance of concentration, freshness, and precision that suits Valdicava’s style beautifully. Made from 100% Sangiovese, this Brunello opens with an intense and layered aromatic profile of ripe red cherry, blackberry, and plum, accented by notes of violet, tobacco, leather, and crushed stone.
