2005 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany

Winemaker Notes:  Valdicava philosophy is to produce a Brunello that represents the best traditions in structure and aromatics with elegance, harmony and fruit.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Aromas of minerals, ripe fruit, a delicate floral character. On the palate it is fresh and fabulous with a long finish. Lots going on here."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is a brooding wine that flows with the essence of smoke, tar, earthiness, wild cherries and iron. This is one of most rich, concentrated Brunellos of the vintage. Dark and enveloping on the palate, this powerful, virile Brunello closes with substantial heft. It should age beautifully on the depth of its fruit, but readers will enjoy a far more complete drinking experience if the wine is given at least few years in bottle to shed some of its baby fat."
