The Winery

Valdicava

Located in the north of Montalcino, Tuscany, Valdicava wine estate produces some of the highest quality wines in the world by showing different expressions of the opulent Sangiovese grape. The warming sensation from the nearby Tirrean Sea, the protective barrier of the “Monte Amiata”, the cooling breezes of surrounding wooded forests along with moderate rain fall facilitate the particularly unique growth of the Valdicava grapes.

The Brunello-focused estate has given their absolute attention to the vines to produce a great balance of body and aroma, making every bottle a treasured collectible. The hard work and attention to the details in the terroir is evident for the consumers of any Valdicava, now and for years to come.

Tasting Notes

WA91
The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino does not have quite as much meat as the remarkable 1997, but it is an unquestionable success. A firm and brilliant garnet, its complex nose of plums, wild cherries, saddle leather, and minerals is of important depth and expansion. The solid, balanced flavors are vigorous and layered, sensual in texture, resonant and long on the sweet, tarry, mineral finish. Drink: 2005-2015. Those looking for the finest in this appellation might want to consider reserving the 1999 Valdicava Brunello – the best yet – in advance.
