Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the very essence of Montalcino, a pure expression of Tuscany. This Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, from the Vigna Montosoli of the Canalicchio Di Sopra estate, is much more than a simple wine: it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a testament to excellence and tradition.
The Canalicchio Di Sopra estate is an institution in Montalcino, recognized for its commitment to quality and respect for the terroir. The Vigna Montosoli, from which this Sangiovese Grosso of the 2020 vintage comes, is particularly esteemed. Its unique position, soil composition and optimal exposure give the grape a singular richness and complexity. The vinification, with fermentation in steel tanks and long maceration, aims to preserve the integrity of the fruit.
This wine presents itself with a deep, brilliant ruby red color, tending towards garnet with time. On the nose, I perceive a rich and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, faded flowers, spices, tobacco mingle, along with nuances of leather. On the palate, it reveals remarkable elegance and strength, with ripe and perfectly integrated tannins. I am struck by its full body, its velvety texture and a balanced acidity that gives it beautiful freshness. The finish is long and persistent, leaving an impression of delicious aromatic complexity.
To accompany this Brunello di Montalcino, I suggest rich and flavorful dishes. Imagine it with grilled red meats, game or aged cheeses. It is a wine that calls for conviviality, ideal for celebrations or to mark a special occasion. It was aged for at least five years, two of which in wooden barrels, which gives it remarkable depth and aging potential. Let yourself be carried away by this wine that tells a story, that of an exceptional terroir and ancestral know-how.
