    Radiant dark ruby with violet reflections. Very concentrated, dense aroma of dark red fruits, small berries, underpinned by a harmonious acidity with fine herbal spice. The harmonious and rather cool climate in 2013 brought us a Brunello in the glass that is fresh, elegant and yet very powerful and, above all, strong in personality and robust. Nooks and crannies are quite intentional here. Power and pressure are a matter of course with Valdicava. And the necessary maturity must be patiently endured, but is guaranteed to be rewarded. Vincenzo Abbruzzese has once again shown (to everyone) that Valdicava is one of the absolute top producers of the DOCG Montalcino. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Deep red. Ample aromas of blackberry, red cherry, and violet, plus a whiff of violet. Dense, creamy and concentrated, offering savory flavors of ripe red cherry, licorice and cocoa lifted by nicely integrated acidity. Finishes quite fleshy, with youthfully chewy tannins and outstanding length. This Brunello may not be the last word in refinement, but it is hard to argue with its early appeal and deliciousness." Vinous

    "Valdicava's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautifully saturated expression that opens to a dark garnet appearance and a soothing, velvety texture. The bouquet is packed tight with dark berry nuances, starting with ripe cherry and extending to black fruit tones of fresh prune and plum. The wine's strongest cards are its texture, structure and its power. This is a cool vintage that produced very fine and accessible wines. This expression, however, shows a very different personality with ample volume and long staying power." Wine Advocate

    "A juicy, young Brunello with berry, dried mushroom and flower character. Orange peel, too. Full body, firm and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. So complex and beautiful. It goes on for minutes. I love the balance that makes it so enjoyable to try now but it will age for decades ahead. Try to leave it until 2021." James Suckling
