Summary
Canalicchio di Sopra's 2018 Brunello di Montalcino exemplifies the elegance of Tuscan Sangiovese, sourced from the estate’s northern vineyards on marl and galestro soils. This vintage showcases a classic profile, with a focus on site expression through parcel-by-parcel vinification. The wine exhibits a bouquet of red fruit, including cherry and blackberry, complemented by earthy notes and hints of mint, violet, and spice. The palate is characterized by its smooth, velvety texture and well-integrated tannins, leading to a crisp, refreshing finish. This Brunello reflects both charm and complexity, underscored by its lengthy aging process in large Slavonian botti. Blend: 100% Sangiovese.
