Valdicava sits firmly among the top names in Montalcino, boasting more 100-point James Suckling scores than any other producer. Their flagship cuve, Madonna del Piano, is one of Tuscanys most celebrated winesSuckling even calls it one of the great wines of Tuscany, if not Italy.

The 2019 vintage, hailed by Vinous Eric Guido as an embarrassment of riches for collectors, has earned yet another perfect score, and shows Brunello at its most powerful and refined. Valdicavas style is bold and concentrated, with incredible energy, minerality, and purity of fruit. On the nose, expect an intoxicating mix of cardamom, cumin, earth, pepper, chalk, violets, tar, and dark berries.

Crucially, while the wine leans toward the modern side, oak use is beautifully restrainedproviding structure without overshadowing the wines elegance or sense of place.
