Producer

Producer

"Madonna del Piano" is one of the first "Crus" of Montalcino. It comes from a single plot located in the Montosoli valley, known for its ability to produce wines of exceptional power and finesse. Vincenzo Abbruzzese, the owner, is seeking extreme concentration here but with very moderate use of new oak to allow the Sangiovese to fully express itself.

Owner and history

Here in Montalcino, the opulence of the Sangiovese grape, more so than anywhere else in Tuscany, gives rise to a darker, deeper, and more concentrated wine. At our precise latitude of 43 degrees, the warmth of the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea, the protection of Monte Amiata, the coolness of the wooded areas, the breezes, and moderate rainfall combine to promote the optimal ripening of these grapes, which become fragrant. Valdicava is located in the Montosoli region, renowned in Montalcino for its wines with a beautiful balance of structure and aromas. We meticulously ensure that we preserve the unique character of our wines in order to exalt the soul of the place, the "genius loci" of our domaine.

Vinification and aging

The vinification of Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is carried out with the utmost respect for tradition. The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts several weeks, allowing for optimal extraction of aromas and tannins. Aging then takes place in oak barrels of varying sizes for an extended period, in order to refine the wine's structure and complexity. Before bottling, the wine is lightly filtered to preserve its purity and authenticity.

The team's opinion

The Valdicava "Madonna del Piano" Riserva 2015 is a landmark from Montalcino, often considered one of the most profound and spectacular Brunellos ever produced. The 2015 vintage has been described as "legendary" in Tuscany, and this vintage is one of its most perfect expressions.
