Summary

The Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia 2018 is a distinguished single-vineyard wine from Tuscany, crafted entirely from Sangiovese grapes grown in clay and marine-sediment soils. This vintage, marked by cooler weather, showcases a deeper ruby color and a complex profile with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, and floral notes complemented by earthy and herbal undertones. On the palate, it presents medium to full-bodied richness, smooth tannins, and a balanced acidity that enhances its age-worthiness. The wine is elegantly structured, with lingering flavors of leather and spice, indicative of its careful aging in Slavonian oak for 30-36 months. Limited to just 3,733 bottles, this Brunello reflects the unique terroir of Montalcino and the estate's commitment to quality.
