"Since its foundation, Valdicava has been a family property. Their wine is born in the vineyard, where every day they work respecting the balance of Nature so as to exalt the individual character of their Sangiovese. 50 years of genuine methods and coherent philosophy allow them to produce small quantities of grapes in the natural way, preserving th equilibrium of the vines. Extreme attention during harvest, native yeasts, controlled temperature, maniacal cleanliness and a lot of experience give them the opportunity to produce a unique Brunello with a special character impossible to replicate elsewhere." (Wine Spectator)
"An impressively structured wine. Aromas of blueberries and blackberries with hints of violets. Full body with velvety, rich tannins. Very tannic and powerful, yet the tannins are polished and pretty. Layers of everything here. Give this another three to four years before opening." - 98 Points, James Suckling
"The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is another super-finessed wine. Subtle floral notes meld into expressive red berries in a sumptuous Brunello that captures the essence of the vintage. The style is rich and deeply textured, but the 2007, as outstanding as it is, needs at least a few more years in bottle. Once again, finesse rules the day. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027." - 96 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
