Vintage Report

The 2021 harvest in Tuscany yielded excellent wines with a top score of 95 points. The wines are currently still youthful and tannic, which will allow them to develop beautifully.

Canalicchio di Sopra has been a household name in the wine world for years! This Rosso di Montalcino is also a textbook wine, fantastic. It is produced exclusively from grapes from the youngest vineyards. The grapes from vineyards that are over ten years old are allowed to age in oak for a few more years to produce Brunello di Montalcino and their Riserva from this winery. The youngest vineyards have an abundance of fruit and sweeter, silkier tannins, even after a year in oak. That's why they are best expressed in the Rosso di Montalcino.

Wines with passion and tradition

Primo Pacenti founded Azienda Agricola Canalicchio di Sopra in 1962. The estate is located in the northern part of the municipality of Montalcino. The winery occupies approximately sixty hectares of land, of which 15 hectares are planted with vineyards and 2 hectares with olive groves. For three generations, wine has been produced with great passion and expertise, using the latest technologies with respect for traditions and nature. The vines are planted in two distinct zones of Montalcino: Canalicchio di Sopra and Le Gode di Montosoli. The differences in location and soil create different types of Sangiovese, which are carefully blended in the cellars to create a beautiful result. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and then undergo a rigorous selection process. After pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats under controlled temperatures, with daily pumping. This is followed by maceration on the skins for 15 to 20 days. Finally, the Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino is aged for another twelve months in 50 hectoliter (50%) Slavonian oak barrels and French oak barrels. After bottling, the wine is aged in the bottle for a further four months.

Enjoy the special Rosso di Montalcino

That's what makes it special; you can smell and taste that the wine has rested. The aroma is refreshing, fruity, and spicy with elegant notes of cherry and berry. The palate of this Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino is full and soft with velvety tannins and a long, intense, and aromatic finish.
