Winemaker Notes

The Madonna del Piano Riserva is a single-vineyard Brunello Riserva that Valdicava makes only in the best vintages. Valdicava Riserva is typically lush, textured and elegant, with deep, concentrated, and powerful with flavors of dark cherries, earth, and oak.

Professional Ratings

  • 95
    The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is an expressive and articulate wine that speaks highly of Sangiovese and the Montalcino territory. The wine offers a pristine narrative of both grape and place with crystalline aromas of cherry, blackberry, spice, leather, smoke and Mediterranean herb. The bouquet peels back one delicious layer at a time. The mouthfeel is similarly successful with deep concentration and complexity. It imparts soft layers of dried fruit and velvety tannins. Endnotes of espresso bean and toasted almond add length and momentum. There's even spot of chewy sweetness that is typical of the warm 2009 vintage.
  • 94
    This is the wine of the vintage with dark berry, chocolate, spice and mushroom character. Full body, silky and beautiful tannins and a long, long finish. A beautiful wine.
  • 92
    Aromas of sweet, ripe cherry and strawberry are accented by woodsy and floral notes in this elegant, refreshing red. Firm yet harmonious, with a lingering finish of leather, tobacco and under- brush. Drink now through 2024.

Montalcino is home to the opulent of the Sangiovese grape. At our precise latitude of 43 degrees, the warmth of the nearby Tirrean Sea, the protective barrier of the "Monte Amiata," the coolness of the wooded areas, the breeze and the moderate rainfall all coincide to facilitate the growth of these grapes to fragrant, full maturity. Valdicava is located in the Montosoli area which is famous in Montelcino for creating wines with great balance of body and aromas. We pay the utmost attention towards maintaining the individual characteristics of our wine in order to exalt the spirit of the place, the 'genius loci' of our estate.

Among Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.

The biggest island in the Tuscan Archipelago and the third largest Italian island after Sardinia and Sicily—though that isn’t saying mush since it is a lot smaller—Elba is an extraordinarily gorgeous island, surrounded by vast aquamarine waters. Only 250 acres are planted with the main grapes as Trebbiano, Vermentino, Ansonica (Sicily’s Inzolia), and Sangiovese. Elba is also home to the sweet and exotic red Aleatico passito.
