VALDICAVA, BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO

TUSCANY, ITALY 2013

With three 100-point wines in the past two decades, (2001, 2006 and 2010), the wines of Valdicava are without a doubt iconic – rich, concentrated and a dazzling display of the greatness of Brunello di Montalcino. With grapes originally sold to Biondi Santi, the wines are distinguished by their bold, brooding and powerful style, possessing unbelievable depth and complexity with the potential to age for decades. Working with the best grapes from nine different single vineyards, their Brunello di Montalicino is an exquisite expression all by itself. However, today we are thrilled to offer their highly-anticipated 2013 release of their Riserva, the extraordinary single-vineyard ‘Madonna del Piano.’ Additionally, as the vintage was exceptional for Brunello, we are especially excited as we were able to secure another minuscule allocation of their 2013 Brunello di Montalcino, which quickly sold out last year.

Named No. 6 on James Suckling’s list of 12 best Collectible Tuscan Wines, the ‘Madonna del Piano’ is Montalcino’s first single vineyard, one of the “great wines of Tuscany, if not Italy” (James Suckling). Impressing with wonderful depth of fruit and phenomenal balance due to the classic 2013 vintage, the Madonna del Piano exhibits “both structure and acidity necessary for prolonged cellar aging” (Monica Larner, Wine Advocate), making this a must for any collector from one of Italy’s top producers. At the lowest advertised price in the country with limited availability in four sizes (sorry, 6L not available in Florida!), this is one icon you don’t want to miss. Furthermore, we are honoring our Concierge Sales price from last year’s offer of the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino – so today is the perfect opportunity to add both of these remarkable wines to your collection.
