2005年已不用漫漫長久太多等待，絲毫不影響大寶劍這家迷人且自信的光彩! 這次最平民務實價格，最值得入手,更是最親民的絕佳作品，一窺大寶劍沉穩內斂全部迷人風彩，錯過這次，絕對再也等不到下次,數量相當有限!!! –低調自信、神秘、高評價是 Valdicava 酒莊最佳詮釋 –只要喝過之後，您一定會愛上它!!!
酒標的設計十分獨特：純白色的酒標上只用油畫手法描繪出的人像，色彩大膽、明麗而狂野，在白色背景的襯托下顯得異常鮮明。仔細一看，這個人像手中高舉聖母寶劍，背後有一對遨翔翅膀，赤著腳，乘雲而來，如同西方傳說中的偉大天神，神情凜冽，似要斬殺前方的妖魔。除此之外，酒標上還印有「Brunello di Montalcino（布魯奈羅-蒙塔希諾）」、「Valdicava（瓦迪卡瓦）」字樣和年份，除此之外酒標上就無任何訊息，什麼樣的酒莊會設計看似簡單易懂，但又頗有深度的酒標？
我帶著好奇，開始認認真真地去了解 Valdicava 瓦迪卡瓦酒莊。意想不到的是，這個俗稱「大寶劍」的義大利酒莊鮮少人知，網路上很少找到這家酒莊介紹，但卻是連續拿到三款100滿分酒的締造者……深受 葡萄酒觀察家 Wine Spectator 和 著名酒評家詹姆斯·薩克林 James Suckling 和權威酒評家羅伯特·帕克（Robert Parker）酒評家給予高度肯定
Parker 有段話曾提到「沒有理想的酒莊，和一般農家獨樂有什麼分別呢？」第一次聽到這句話的時候，感覺不可思議，直到遇見義大利名莊瓦迪卡瓦酒莊（Valdicava）後，我才真正理解什麼叫做「有理想的酒莊」。或許，不僅僅是有理想，瓦迪卡瓦酒莊更是一間有態度的義大利酒莊。
Valdicava 酒莊位於義大利中部 Sienna，1953年 Martini Bramente 買下 Valdicava酒莊，當時只會將葡萄賣給 Biondi-Santi 酒莊，當時 Biondi-Santi 已是義大利頂尖葡萄酒代表，名滿天下。直到西元1968年Bramente 開始自己釀造葡萄酒，釀出第一批 Valdicava Brunello，15年後，他的孫子Vincenzo 接管了酒莊，志在釀造最好的Brunello。一生執著釀酒的 Abbruzzese 奉獻所有的心血在 Valdicava ，他將關鍵點集結在一起，發揮最大的力量，著手種植和釀造，不斷精進釀酒哲學，持之以恆，穩健發展。採取九塊不同單一葡萄園的葡萄分開壓榨發酵，篩選最優質的葡萄，然後在橡木桶裡培養幾年，農工相當複雜，他堅信釀酒執著專業態度，果然，不失所望，Valdicava 在 2001年份”Madonna del Piano” Riserva 獲得 Wine Spectator 100分評價，後來 2006年份又獲得酒評家 James Suckling 100滿分肯定，Valdicava 很快地得到了權威葡萄酒媒體和酒評家們的肯定。除此之外，權威酒評家羅伯特·帕克（Robert Parker）還這樣評價道：「很肯定的是，Valdicava 是釀造 Brunello di Montalcino 排行前幾名的酒莊。」如果說讚譽是衡量一個酒莊高度的重要標準，Valdicava 酒莊顯然不缺乏這樣的資本。這樣耀眼的高度想必和莊主文森佐對於釀造頂級酒的執著分不開。若這種「低調的專注」理念一直堅持下去，那麼 Valdicava 酒莊將會在未來很長一段時間內維持它的現有高度，或攀上更高的巔峰也未可知。
此刻，我們應該舉杯，向這個低調而又耀眼的義大利名莊——瓦迪卡瓦酒莊致敬！（文 / Jasmine）
Winemaker Notes: Valdicava philosophy is to produce a Brunello that represents the best traditions in structure and aromatics with elegance, harmony and fruit.
The Wines of Valdicava • Brunello di Montalcino 2005 Offer— 【 James Suckling: 93分 & Wine Enthusiast :93分 & Robert Parker: 92分 & Antonio Galloni’s Vinous : 92分】
Valdicava • Brunello di Montalcino 2005Robert Parker Tasting Notes: 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. (RP)「這款酒有著卓越的精緻感和深度，它是如此地微妙而低調，絲滑般細膩的單寧，濃郁氛芳果香令人驚嘆，在口中猶如巨浪向你湧來，餘味悠長餘味無窮無盡，最佳建議適飲為 2012-2022年之後，甚至品飲更久。」
Wine Enthusiast Tsating Notes: Plush and modern, plump and decadent: this is a blockbuster Brunello with huge concentration, density and intensity especially where those oak-related aromas are concerned. Yes, you get loads of spice and mesquite wood here but the natural intensity of the cherry and blackberry is not overwhelmed. The wine is soft, chewy and dense in the mouth. (RV) (8/2010)
James Suckling Tasting Notes: 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.
Antonio Galloni’s Vinous Tasting Notes: The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino has aged very well. A dark, almost black wine, the 2005 exudes depth, the result of a cool year with thick-skinned grapes. A host of black cherry, plum, smoke and licorice open up in a big, concentrated Brunello that showcases the house style very nicely. This is a strong showing for the vintage.

The Wines of Valdicava • Rosso di Montalcino 2014 Offer
Valdicava • Rosso di Montalcino 2014Stephen Tanzer’s M.W.Tasting Notes: Good medium red. Ripe, slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry, chocolate and minerals. Large-scaled, intensely flavored and well-delineated, showing a pronounced flinty aspect to the fresh red and darker berry flavors. Finishes pure and long, with a firm tannic backbone that avoids coming off as dry. (IDA) (07/2015)
Vinous Tasting Notes: The 2014 Rosso di Montalcino is soft, silky and expressive. Floral notes meld into soft red fruit in a pretty, delicate Rosso to drink now and over the next few years. (AG) (2/2015)
