Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, March 2010

Dense inky black purple in color, this massive Rosso boasts aromas of ripe cherry and earthy elements of tar, tobacco, and leather with underlying florals and crushed rock. On the palate this wine is loaded with sweet black cherry, chocolate, tobacco and spice. This is a big wine that could use a couple of more years in bottle to show its full potential.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2009

The 2007 Rosso di Montalcino is one of the more massive Rossos in this vintage. In fact, it is one of the few wines that may actually require a year or two in bottle for the tannins to soften! Super-ripe red cherries lead to kirsch, earthiness, leather and spices as this full-bodied, tannic Rosso struts its stuff. The wine possesses exceptional depth, purity and class. Proprietor Vincenzo Abbruzzese elevates Rosso to another level with this effort, but readers will need to be patient. The Valdicava Rosso is made from the estate's youngest vines, all of which are Brunello-designated. In 2007 Abbruzzese gave his Rosso an additional 4-5 months in cask above the usual 8-10 months. He describes the wine as "too important for a Rosso" and I tend to agree as this is by no means an approachable, easy going wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022.

This has a subtle nose, but there's good crushed black fruit and mineral. Full-bodied, with firm, fruit-coated tannins and a clean finish. Unwinds in the glass. Valdicava Brunello character for half the price. Drink now. 2,160 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.
