Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine a wine that whispers the history of Tuscany to you, a perfect balance between power and elegance. This Brunello di Montalcino is an encounter with authenticity, a measured and profound expression that reveals to you the true essence of its terroir.
It is in the heart of Montalcino, in the province of Siena, that Canalicchio Di Sopra cultivates its Sangiovese, the sole grape variety of this Brunello. Here, every cluster is pampered to express the richness of this blessed land. The estate, with its respectful approach, has forged a reputation for excellence by producing wines that speak for themselves, without artifice.
In your glass, this 2021 vintage reveals an intense ruby color, a promise of a rich tasting. On the nose, I perceive ripe black fruits, sweet spices and a touch of graphite, almost mineral. Leather and undergrowth complete this complex bouquet. On the palate, you will discover a compact structure, tannins that are present yet admirably integrated, evolving with beautiful freshness and an aromatic persistence without excess. The tannic texture is fine, the sapidity balanced, leading to a finish of medium to long persistence. This wine fermented in steel tanks with a medium to long maceration, then aged for 36 months in Slavonian oak casks, which gives it its complexity and depth.
This Brunello is the dream partner for moments of sharing. I recommend it with costolette di vitello grigliate, those grilled veal chops that will echo its power. Also imagine it with a risotto ai porcini, where its undergrowth notes will pair wonderfully with the mushrooms. It is a wine that requires particular care when serving, a temperature around 18°C and a light decanting to release all its aromas. Use a large glass to appreciate every nuance. It will be the perfect accomplice to your refined dinners or your more intimate evenings, transporting you straight to the heart of Tuscany.
