Collection: Valdicava

The Abruzzese family were one of the twenty-five founder members of the Consorzio Brunello di Montalcino in 1967 and now fourth generation Pierfilippo, is ensuring that the reputation of the estate remains second to none with nobody denying the cult status the winery enjoys today.

Robert Parker said "... a strong argument can be made that Valdicava is among the top three or four Brunello di Montalcino producers" and its top cuvée (Madonna del Piano) boasts more 100-point (JS) scores than any other Brunello.

The Wine

The boutique 10-hectare estate, at the foot of the famous hill of Montosoli, retains two of Italy's best wine consultants, winemaker Attilio Pagli and agronomist Andrea Paoletti and, by insisting on unusually low yields, produces a maximum of 6000 cases each year across the portfolio. The dedication to quality is unmatched in the region, with the estate electing to bottle no Riserva in 2017, nor even producing an estate Brunello in 2018!

Such an obsession with excellence guarantees that all releases are the crème de la crème – and the wait for a new Valdicava Brunello is definitely worth it.
