Valdicava Description
This wine has intense aromas of balsamic, black cherries, cocoa, coffee beans and a hint of licorice at the very finish. The tannins are elegant and well integrated and feature a nice brightness given by the acidity of the wine.
James Suckling: 95 Points

The Valdicava 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows a soft level of vintage ripeness that translates into dried strawberry or cooked cherry. These nuances are delicate and fine, however, and they are mitigated by the wine's acidity and the general clarity of the bouquet. Compared to past vintages, this 2017 is more accessible, but Valdicava has never been short on elegance or pedigree. Even that accessibility I mention is relative, because these wines have an excellent track record for longevity despite vintage variation.
