Tasting Notes: Elegant and refined, the 2019 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello is both ready to drink and built for the cellar. Crushed cherries, pipe tobacco, woodland berries, and dried herbs all mingle together. The palate is both open and structured. Give this an hour of air and watch the fireworks explode in the glass.
Estate History: The Canalicchio di Sopra estate is one of a handful of Brunello producers that we collect in every vintage. Their first bottle of Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino was produced in 1966 and, in 1967, they were one of the twelve founding producers of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. While the quality of the wines has always been high, the last decade has seen it taken to new heights as the team has begun to examine particular parcels and fine-tune some aspects of the vinification process.
96/100
Dusty violets, lavender and cloves accentuate dried black cherries as the dramatic 2019 Brunello di Montalcino smolders up from the glass. This is impossible to ignore, bursting with energy as depths of ripe red fruits, chalky minerals and exotic spices saturate all they touch, balanced by textures of pure silk. The 2019 finishes with fantastic length and concentration, leaving a staining of tart blackberry and hints of orange that curl the tongue as crunchy tannins tug at the palate. It's rare to see such a combination of vibrancy and power. Canalicchio di Sopra nailed it in 2019. Wow. Drinking window 2026-2042
