With over 50 years of experience in Italy’s wine business, Canalicchio di Sopra creates outstanding Brunello di Montalcino in the UNESCO Heritage site of one of Tuscany’s most prized regions. Today the company has been touched by “three generations of passionate winemakers, inextricably linked to Montalcino and its land” touts their website. Wine Spectator, James Suckling, and Jancis Robinson have all raved about the wines from this historic producer touting the “huge potential” that younger vintages of this wine has for the future.
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.
