The wine

Canalicchio Di Sopra: The Soul of Brunello 2020

Let me guide you to a Tuscan gem, a wine that embodies the elegance and power of Montalcino. This Brunello di Montalcino 2020, from the Canalicchio Di Sopra estate, is a true celebration of Sangiovese, an invitation to a sensory journey into the heart of authentic Tuscany.

Montalcino, land of Sangiovese

The Canalicchio Di Sopra estate, an essential reference in Montalcino, is renowned for its wines that harmoniously combine elegance, power and remarkable aging capacity. This Brunello is the fruit of a unique terroir and a rigorous winemaking tradition, where the Sangiovese Grosso grape reigns supreme. Traditional fermentation in steel tanks preserves the purity of the fruit, before patient aging.

Its deep ruby red color, tending toward garnet with time, is already a promise. On the nose, you will discover a symphony of ripe red fruits, balsamic notes and spices, with touches of leather and tobacco that testify to its long aging. On the palate, this Brunello offers controlled power, a perfect balance between a present tannic structure, beautiful acidity and a generous body. The richness of the fruit is wrapped in a velvety texture, leading to a long and persistent finish, where the flavors recall the aromas perceived on the nose.

Perfect Pairings for Exceptional Moments

This Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is the ideal companion for great occasions. I recommend it with intense and flavorful dishes: think of roasted red meats, game or aged cheeses. Its complex aromatic profile and structure allow it to elevate these dishes, creating a memorable tasting experience.

This wine is not just a tasting, it is an experience. It transports you directly to the rolling landscapes of Montalcino, making you feel the passion and know-how of Canalicchio Di Sopra. Let yourself be tempted by this Brunello 2020, it will reveal to you all the grandeur of Tuscan Sangiovese and will leave you with an unforgettable memory.
