Valdicava Brunello 2019

Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2019

A powerful yet impeccably balanced Brunello from one of Montalcino’s most revered estates, Valdicava 2019 captures the depth, precision, and age-worthy structure of this outstanding vintage. Sourced from vineyards in the cooler northern zone of Montalcino near Montosoli, Valdicava is known for producing Brunellos of intensity, minerality, and remarkable longevity.

The 2019 opens with an expressive bouquet of red cherry, black raspberry, and ripe plum layered with violet, sweet balsamic notes, and hints of tobacco and cedar. Subtle nuances of crushed stone, orange peel, and spice add complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet finely polished tannins and vibrant acidity providing lift and clarity. Concentrated red and dark fruit flavors unfold into a long, resonant finish marked by savory mineral tones.

More refined and harmoniously balanced than some warmer vintages, the 2019 Valdicava combines power and elegance, making it compelling with extended decanting now while clearly built for long-term cellaring.
