Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Vincenzo Abbruzzese's systematic changes over the past 25 years have earned Valdicava a place among the elite producers of Brunello di Montalcino. With just 10 hectares in the coldest part of the Brunello zone, he is probably the most exacting grower in the area, managing vegetation so that each grape will enjoy the perfect amount of sun and mercilessly expunging tightly packed grapes to avoid rot and disease. His beautifully tended vineyards yield some of the richest wines in Montalcino; and that’s where most of the focus is - on the vineyards. The winery itself is unremarkable and is equipped with just the bare essentials with all of the wines aged in large, neutral oak. What is clearly evident is Vincenzo's commitment to low yields, sustainable farming and a non-interventionist winemaking consistently demonstrate richness and excellent structure in his wines. Produced from grapes grown in the Poggio, Pievecchina, Pratea and Sferracavallo vineyards. The wine is powerful and structured with plums and black cherries mingling with aromas of leather and spice.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
