Valdicava Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Valdicava Rosso di Montalcino 2022 is a highly refined and structured Tuscan red wine that behaves like a "baby Brunello" on the palate. Made from declassified estate-grown Sangiovese Grosso grapes, this complex red opens with initial notes of black cherry, wild herbs, mentholated spices, and a hint of white smoke. The palate is bone dry, medium-to-full-bodied, and tightly wound, displaying exceptional balance between crisp, refreshing acidity, silky berry concentration, and savory minerals. Youthful, dusty tannins guide this elegant wine to a remarkably long, grippy finish.

Food Pairing: This highly structured Rosso pairs exquisitely with a rich Bolognese ragù, slow-cooked beef stews, classic charcoal-grilled Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or aged hard cheeses.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

A dense red, evoking cherry, earth and eucalyptus flavors, this is tightly wound. Not giving a lot of pleasure today, but give this a few months to unravel. Then make a nice ragu. Best from 2025 through 2029. 750 cases made, 530 cases imported.
