Valdicava

Rosso di Montalcino

Tuscany, Italy

2020

100% Sangiovese

First up is this low intervention sustainably farmed Rosso di Montalcino. Named after the valley in which the grapes are grown, Valdicava is situated in the coldest part of Brunello.

Aged in old oak, this results in soft tannins and a silky mouthfeel. Grippy at first, this softens into a long finish.

Tasting notes: balsamic, chocolate, cherry, intense dark fruits, plum, bramble, pepper

Pairing: venison, beef, rich pastas
