Valdicava sits firmly among the top producers of Brunello, with Vincenzo Abruzzese — whose grandfather was one of the original growers — pushing the estate to its current heights.
Single-vineyard bottlings like Montosoli tend to show more finesse and mineral lift, while the estate Brunello is broader and more powerful. Across the range, the common thread is meticulous selection and a willingness to declassify in weaker years, resulting in wines that are consistently structured, expressive and built for the long haul.
What the critics say:
"A super-complex wine with aromas of spices, dried cherries, wild strawberries, potpourri, orange zest, smoky wood and earth. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Energy and graceful harmony in the aftertaste, with a savory hint of black olives. Almost drinkable now, but best from 2027."
"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano has a brooding bouquet of crushed ashen stones, sweet exotic spices, violet pastille and radiant black cherries. It's surprisingly cool-toned and sleek with tart red berry fruits and a stern core of minerality. With exceptional length and freshness, the 2020 blends rounded tannins with hints of tangerine and raspberry. The 2020 is unlike any Riserva Madonna del Piano I've ever encountered; despite its underlying power, its energy and vibrancy are truly impressive. This stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the 2016 and 2019 vintages, which was no easy feat given the challenges of the 2020 season."
