Valdicava lies on the Versante Senese, the slope towards Siena at the base of the north face of the town of Montalcino. Valdicava's wines sing purity, elegance in an almost pinot noir-like fashion, yet their long, elegant structure allows the spiraling aromatics to launch themselves out of the glass. Very good wine. 2006 is an exceptional year in Montalcino and as many await the sure to be highly-rated 2004 Brunelli the 2006 Rosso di Montalcino are a harbinger of what is to come.
