Valdicava Vigna Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is a prestigious, ethereal single-vineyard red that offers pure, sophisticated aromas of dried violets, cedar, spiced orange, and wild strawberries. On the palate, it exhibits a silky, full-bodied texture with a dense wave of tart wild berry fruit, iron-rich earth, and fine-grained, persistent tannins, leading to an exceptionally long, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with rich, savory dishes like wild boar ragù, classic Tuscan Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or game meats like duck breast and venison.

The nose is so pure and subtle with a sophistication and ethereal notion to it. It just makes you sit back and ponder the world. Like sitting in a pasture of mountains. Medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins that are endless and glorious in every sense. It’s like being connected to a unique piece of the earth when you taste this. Just-ripe berries with dried flowers, shell fish shell, and subtle mushroom and bark. Lasts so long on the palate. Endless. Drinkable because it is perfectly balanced, but it will be better in three to six years and beyond.
97 Points - Wine Spectator
There's intensity to this red, along with breadth and depth, showing cherry, raspberry, iron, eucalyptus and tobacco aromas and flavors that are expressive, allied to a supple texture and refined structure. This finds an equilibrium between elegance and power, with a persistent aftertaste of fresh red fruit. Best from 2026 through 2042. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.

A clean but floral nose then turns earthy and umami, rolling from rose water and petals to potting soil and herbs with tart berries. More tart and sweet berries on the palate are lifted by bitter citrus and dusted in cocoa powder, with iron-rich earth and that ultrafresh salinity still very present.
