Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2012
Wow. You might think you are drinking Napa! Valdicava’s style is bold and complex, with tiers of fruit and spices and earth that rush into your mouth and linger forever, seemingly…
In 1953, Martini Bramente bought an old estate called Valdicava in the famous Montosoli Valley (home to the very finest Brunello wineries). He began selling his grapes to the original Biondi-Santi Winery, whose wines were already famous throughout Europe and other parts of the world.
By 1968, Bramente ventured out into the winery end of the business and produced the first Valdicava Brunello. It wasn’t until fifteen years later that his grandson, Vincenzo Abbruzzese, took over the business that Valdicava’s estate wines began spiraling unswervingly upward.
We scored this small parcel (about 25 cases) from the importer at a WONDERFUL price. Treat yourself!! Valdicava is one of the greats!!
