The wine

Canalicchio Di Sopra: The Brilliance of Montalcino's Sangiovese

Today I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the elegance and depth of Tuscany, a more immediate yet no less captivating expression of the Montalcino terroir. It is a gateway to the complexity of Sangiovese, signed by an estate whose reputation speaks for itself.

The Terroir of Montalcino, the Art of Canalicchio Di Sopra

The Canalicchio Di Sopra estate, nestled in the heart of the prestigious Montalcino region, is a name that every lover of Tuscan wines knows. This Rosso di Montalcino DOC is made from 100% Sangiovese, the king grape variety of these lands, in a 2023 vintage that promises beautiful liveliness. The work in the vineyard and the cellar aims to faithfully reflect the unique identity of this terroir, renowned worldwide for its exceptional wines.

This wine reveals itself in a vibrant ruby red color, a promise of its dazzling aromas. On the nose, you will be charmed by a rich and inviting bouquet, dominated by notes of red fruits such as cherry and strawberry, enriched with delicate floral nuances and sweet spices. A light veil of vanilla and leather, the result of an elegant passage in wood, completes this olfactory profile. On the palate, the balance is remarkable, the perfect harmony between beautiful freshness, well-present acidity, and soft, velvety tannins. The flavors of ripe red fruits blend with spicy accents and a subtle minerality, leading to a long and persistent finish that leaves a sensation of cleanliness and refreshing complexity.

At the Table with the Rosso from Canalicchio Di Sopra

This Rosso di Montalcino DOC is a true invitation to the table. I warmly recommend it with dishes of Tuscan cuisine, such as a comforting pappa al pomodoro, a bistecca alla fiorentina grilled to perfection, or aged cheeses that will reveal all its structure. It is also an excellent companion for flavorful charcuterie. Whether for a convivial meal or a special occasion, this wine will enhance your moments of sharing, offering you an authentic and memorable experience of Tuscany.

The 2023 from Canalicchio Di Sopra is 100 % Sangiovese with a passage in wood that brings a touch of vanilla and leather: a more immediate way to enter Montalcino. I would choose it to discover the terroir through its lively side.
