// 100% Sangiovese
"Produced from vineyards which are over 10 years old, it represents the essence of our concept of terroir: an expression of elegance, depth, and freshness of our Sangiovese, able to unite its balsamic quality of the north side of Montalcino with the opulence of our lands." - Canalicchio di Sopra, Winemaker
"The estate’s flagship Brunello is among the top ‘classic’ bottlings of the vintage. With equal parts from holdings in Montosoli and Canalicchio, it combines the best of both in one harmonious expression of Montalcino’s northern sector. Vibrant aromas don’t give away everything all at once. Instead, they emerge with paced precision conveying dark red cherry, raspberry, sage and rosemary blossom. Florals and balsamic herbs perfume the beautifully composed, pristine palate, while concentrated acidity and sandy tannins are seamlessly embedded. Saline minerals draw out the finish. This is as mouthfilling as it is elegant." - 96 Points, Michaela Morris, Decanter
"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is explosive in the glass, with waves of crushed rocks, savory herbs, nuances of split pine and dried strawberries. It communicates both juiciness and refinement, with crystalline mineral tones contrasting racy red and black fruits. The 2021 leaves the senses drenched in primary concentration as a sour twang of citrus mingles with fine tannins through the dramatically long finale. Despite having separated out the single-vineyard wines over the years, I am continually impressed with Canalicchio di Sopra's Brunello."- 95 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
