// 100% Sangiovese
"The Vigna Montosoli, which lends its name to a Montosoli Cru, represents our desire to valorize the uniqueness of a vineyard that is able to maintain its strong identity and quality of being recognizable even in different vintages. Over the years, it has been the vineyard that enhances the flavor and verticality of our Sangiovese." - Canalicchio di Sopra, Winemaker
"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is impossible to ignore. It opens with a distinctly savory bouquet of ashen stones, rosemary, dusty violets and crushed blackberries. Elegant in style, it floods the palate with polished red berry fruits, violet tones and silken textures. The 2021 tapers off harmoniously with excellent length, leaving edgy tannins to pinch the cheeks as nuances of sour cherry fade. This is an understated yet deeply complex beauty, and easily one of the wines of the vintage." - 98 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
"The first of Canalicchio di Sopra’s Brunellos to be picked, on 22 September, Montosoli demonstrates the vintage’s vibrancy of expression with arresting intensity. Lavender, violet and liquorice waft headily from a backdrop of wet stone. Endlessly layered with tangy berries, it suggests greater density than previous releases while retaining its innate verticality. Stony tannins keep everything in check, and frisky acidity imparts a thrilling edginess. Such a long, bitter orange and alpine herb finish. Pure class." - 98 Points, Michaela Morris, Decanter
