Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2015 is a full-bodied Sangiovese red wine from the Montalcino sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. The highly esteemed Valdicava is run by winemaker Attilio Pagli and agronomist Andrea Paoletti, each of whom contributes a wealth of knowledge to create benchmark Brunello di Montalcino wines. The relatively high altitude of the estate`s vineyards, around 300m means a longer hang time, and in turn a longer ripening period, for the grapes, ensuring the finesse and complexity of flavour which are the estate`s hallmark. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is available here in magnum format. "The Valdicava 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is a dark and sultry wine with a beautiful presentation of aromas. This full-bodied Sangiovese opens to aromas of plumy dark fruit, black cherry, cured tobacco, cola and balsam spice. There are earthy or savoury tones as well, with some fragrant crushed flower or wild rose that come straight out of the classic Sangiovese playlist. Generally speaking, this Brunello veers toward black fruit aromas (as opposed to red fruits), and its smooth texture and elegant tannins are well suited to a classic Tuscan dish of pappardelle con sugo di lepre (wild rabbit) or another game sauce."

Vinous
The bouquet holds back at first, yet with coaxing in the glass begins to show a beautiful mix of perfumed black cherry, mentholated spices, wild herbs, white smoke and hints of leather. On the palate, I find silky, enveloping textures, contrasted by cool-toned red and black fruits which flood the senses as brisk acids brought out its spicier, sweeter side with balancing fine tannin and minerals toward the finale. The finish went on and on, showing both fine tannin and juicy acids as lingering red berry fruits, hints of hard candies and red florals slowly fade. There’s a balance to the 2015 Brunello that is seldom seen here, and I believe the best is yet to come. This was tasted twice with similar results.Eric Guido1st April 2020
