Valdicava sits firmly among the top producers of Brunello, with Vincenzo Abruzzese — whose grandfather was one of the original growers — pushing the estate to its current heights.
Single-vineyard bottlings like Montosoli tend to show more finesse and mineral lift, while the estate Brunello is broader and more powerful. Across the range, the common thread is meticulous selection and a willingness to declassify in weaker years, resulting in wines that are consistently structured, expressive and built for the long haul.
What the critics say:
"The ripeness of fruit is a hallmark for this top vineyard of Montosoli. It shows aromas of raspberries, dark cherries, lavender and roses. Medium- to full-bodied with a chewy and tight tannin structure and a long, intense and muscular finish. One of the wines of the vintage. The tannin backbone necessitates aging. Give it three or four years of bottle age. Try after 2029."
"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli has a gorgeous bouquet, with sweet smoke and stone dust giving way to crushed woodland berries, rubbed sage, exotic spice and a lifting hint of fresh pine. It's youthfully dense but seamless and smooth, with polished red fruits and a contrasting tinge of sour citrus. Florals define the finish, alongside fine tannins and echoes of sour cherry. A minute later, slate-inflected mineral tones resonate. This is one of the most complete 2021s I've tasted-Valdicava has achieved a striking new level of purity."
