Valdicava’s 2019 "Madonna del Piano" is a monumental and deeply expressive Brunello Riserva, capturing the perfect balance of power and precision from a stellar vintage. The nose is intense and layered, with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, and dried rose, woven with complex notes of licorice, sweet tobacco, and iron-rich earth. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, with a core of dense dark fruit supported by a framework of firm, yet incredibly polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and powerful, echoing with notes of savory spice, balsamic, and crushed stone. A benchmark Brunello with immense structure and decades of aging potential.
