Fresh red cherry and plum in the 2012 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino Riserva are layered with hints of violets, leather, earthy mushrooms and warm spice. The palate is concentrated yet lifted, with salty-mineral accents and firm, fine-grained tannins driving a long, savory finish that promises further complexity with time in bottle.

Canalicchio di Sopra’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a limited-production, 100% Sangiovese flagship made only in top vintages from the estate’s oldest vines (predominantly the single-vineyard Vigna Vecchia Mercatale); it’s traditionally aged long in Slavonian oak and presents a poised mix of floral and red-fruit aromas, savory licorice/underbrush notes, firm crystalline tannins and a saline, mineral finish, built for long aging while expressing the cool, mineral-rich soils and elegant terroir of Montalcino.
