Valdicava

Valdicava produces Sangiovese-based wines from Montalcino in Tuscany's heart. The winery's core expression, Brunello di Montalcino, captures the region's signature character: structured tannins, earthy depth, and the mineral tension that defines this corner of central Italy. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano represents a more concentrated iteration, aged longer in oak to build complexity and refinement. For those seeking entry into Montalcino's style, the Rosso di Montalcino offers younger-drinking accessibility without sacrificing the varietal's characteristic framework. Across its portfolio, Valdicava's wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff, reflecting the winery's standing within serious wine criticism. The consistency of these Sangiovese bottlings speaks to the particular terroir of Montalcino—a zone where clay and limestone soils yield wines of both power and elegance.
