{"title":"Valdicava","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a long time, the name Valdicava was synonymous with unapologetic power. Historically, this iconic estate produced some of Montalcino’s darkest, most muscular, and intensely concentrated Brunellos. But if you have been paying attention over the last few years, you have witnessed a thrilling evolution. Under the obsessive, organic guidance of Vincenzo Abbruzzese, the wines of Valdicava have shifted beautifully toward purity, transparency, and soaring aromatic lift.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"valdicava-brunello-riserva-madonna-del-piano-2016-1-5l-1-5l","title":"Valdicava Brunello Riserva Madonna Del Piano 2016 (1.5L)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMadonna del Piano is Valdicava's flagship Riserva, drawn from the estate's finest parcels and given extended aging in large Slavonian oak.
