Silky yet vibrant, the 2018 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino layers red and black cherry, wild berries and orange peel with rose, subtle spice and a distinct mineral edge. The palate is graceful but firmly structured, with fine, chalky tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish that hints at balsamic nuance and savory herbs. A particularly charming and immediately appealing vintage here, but with the depth to develop further in bottle.

Canalicchio di Sopra’s Brunello di Montalcino is a pure Sangiovese from the cooler northern slopes of Montalcino, blending clay-rich, mineral-laden vineyards in Canalicchio with stonier, galestro soils on Montosoli around 300 meters altitude. The result is a classically structured, ageworthy Brunello that marries depth and savory, balsamic-tinged minerality with lifted freshness and fine, taut tannins, offering a particularly elegant and terroir-transparent expression of the appellation.
