Energy and finesse define the 2019 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino, with dark cherry and blackberry wrapped in notes of violet, spice and subtle balsamic herb. The palate is sleek yet powerful, showing silky concentration, vibrant acidity and tightly woven, chalky tannins that promise real development in bottle. Long, savory and slightly mouthcoating on the finish, this is a striking, structured Brunello with both polish and intensity in this strong vintage.

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.
