Valdicava Brunello Madonna del Piano Riserva 2004

Valdicava’s single vineyard Brunello di Montalcino Madonna del Piano is one of the great wines of Tuscany, if not Italy. It is a wine completely based on great soil and climate, not to mention fabulous viticulture from owner Vincenzo Abbruzzese.

The wine always shows dark fruits and a fresh porcini character, both young and old. It’s structured and tannic yet polished and reserved. It is an archetypal Brunello di Montalcino for us.

Food Pairings: White truffle, aged Parmigiano, delicate braised meats — or simply pour and contemplate
