Tasting Notes: Elegant and refined, the 2019 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello is both ready to drink and built for the cellar. Crushed cherries, pipe tobacco, woodland berries, and dried herbs all mingle together. The palate is both open and structured. Give this an hour of air and watch the fireworks explode in the glass.
Estate History: The Canalicchio di Sopra estate is one of a handful of Brunello producers that we collect in every vintage. Their first bottle of Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino was produced in 1966 and, in 1967, they were one of the twelve founding producers of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. While the quality of the wines has always been high, the last decade has seen it taken to new heights as the team has begun to examine particular parcels and fine-tune some aspects of the vinification process.
