Valdicava
Valdicava's Brunellos offer a rare opportunity for the fine wine collector. Until recently relatively unknown, Abruzzese is not likely to remain undiscovered much longer. All the ingredients characteristic of highly collectable wines are there: A willingness to sacrifice quantity for consistently high quality year after year, high scoring wines, A very long aging potential, attention from the wine press and a very limited supply (only about 600 cases of 2001 Brunello will be imported to the US). It will be hard to find and difficult to get as much of the allocation will be spoken for. Above all, There is a certain uniqueness and cachet about Abuzzese's wines. No other winemaker's hand is so evident in the personality of the wine. Vincenzo is more like an artist than a winemaker. His wines are his canvas and his signature is on every bottle he produces; not scripted on the label, but in the wines ability to reflect the essence of his vineyard and the Balance he achieves in the cellar.
