Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the very essence of Montalcino, a Brunello that whispers stories of terroir and passion. This is not a simple wine, it is an experience, a dive into the richness and complexity of a Sangiovese Grosso raised with artistry.
The Canalicchio Di Sopra estate, with its long history and dedication to quality, cultivates this Sangiovese Grosso on the Vigna "La Casaccia", a privileged place in the heart of the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG appellation. The rich soils and ideal microclimate of this parcel give the wine remarkable aromatic richness and tannic structure. Here, every cluster is the fruit of sustainable viticulture and respectful winemaking methods, aimed at preserving the integrity of the fruit and the pure expression of the terroir.
This Brunello 2020, after fermentation in steel tanks and a long maceration, waited a minimum of five years, including at least two in wooden barrels. This prolonged maturation allowed it to develop a fascinating complexity. Its color, an intense ruby red, evolves toward garnet hues over time. On the nose, you will be charmed by a complex and inviting bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits, dried flowers, spices, tobacco and even balsamic touches. The aging in wood adds layers of depth, revealing scents of vanilla and leather. On the palate, this wine reveals all its grandeur: a solid structure carried by ripe and well-integrated tannins, balanced by a vibrant acidity that brings freshness and length. The richness of the palate translates into intense and persistent flavors, leading to a long and memorable finish.
This Brunello di Montalcino is the ideal companion for great occasions. I recommend it with rich and structured dishes: think of grilled red meats, braised game or aged cheeses. Imagine it on a festive table, sharing an exceptional moment with your guests. It is an invitation to savor Tuscany at its most authentic and refined.
