Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2010

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano continues to develop very positively. This huge, concentrated Madonna del Piano dazzles for the richness of its fruit and the delineation of its aromas. The clean, vibrant finish suggests many years of cellaring potential. The Valdicava Brunellos are often misunderstood when young because they possess so much richness, but with time in bottle the wines turn more delicate and complete. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.

Vincenzo Abbruzzese is one of the most outspoken, passionate growers in Montalcino. His beautifully tended vineyards yield some of the richest wines in the region; and that's where most of the focus is - on the vineyards. The winery itself is unremarkable and is equipped with just the bare essentials. All of the wines are aged in large, neutral oak; what comes through is Abbruzzese's commitment to low yields, sustainable farming and non-interventionalist winemaking. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the 2008 Rosso in bottle, but several samples tasted from tank and cask seemed quite promising. -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator, June 2010

Intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry and mineral, with just the right amount of licorice and mineral. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a beautiful finish. Best after 2012. 2,415 cases made. -JS

About Winery

Martini Bramante bought the property in 1953 and began bottling "Brunello Valdicava" in 1968. Located in the Montosoli area of Montalcino, the latitude is 43 degress, the Monte Amiata provides a protective barrier, and the nearby Tirrean Sea brings warmth, as well as breezes. The result is wines with great balance of body and aromas. Bramante's grandson, Vincenzo Abbruzzese, now runs the show.
