A newer styled Brunello that was a departure from the Giocondo but boy was it nice. Loved it.

2001 Valdicava Riserva Madonna Piano Nebbiolo. Drank at Reddwood. This wine was much bigger and more velvety than the Giacosa Barbaresco. I might have preferred this wine slightly. K didn't think this wine quite lived up to expectations.
