Canalicchio Di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2021
Critical Acclaim
97 pts James Suckling
Aromas of red cherries, pepper, meat and a hint of dark olives. Medium- to full-bodied, showing subtle fleshiness and precise tannins that bring focus and definition. There’s an ethereal quality, with pure, transparent red fruit and a clean, graceful finish. So approachable. Drink or hold.
Winemakers Notes
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG “Canalicchio di Sopra” is, as tradition, a blend of 50% each of the two terroirs in our vineyards, Canalicchio and Montosoli. Our flagship wine, produced since 1966, is a yearly quest for the perfect balance, endeavouring to make these two territories complementary. The 2021 vintage has given us a Brunello di Montalcino that is classic and floral, that has tension, and where the sweetness of the tannin is contrasted with the freshness and the great depth. Grapes harvested from September 23 to 30, 2021.
Produced from vineyards which are over 10 years old, it represents the essence of our concept of terroir: an expression of elegance, depth, and freshness of our Sangiovese, able to unite its balsamic quality of the north side of Montalcino with the opulence of our lands.
