Vintage Report

The 2018 vintage for Brunello di Montalcino received a rating of 92 points on the Robert Parker Vintage Chart. The wines are of excellent quality but are currently still tannic or youthful, meaning they would benefit from further aging.

Yes, indeed, a truly full-bodied, robust Brunello di Montalcino! The wine is produced by the Canalicchio di Sopra winery. The wine is made entirely from Sangioves, grown in vineyards at an altitude of 283 to 290 meters above sea level. The soil is rich in clay and marl, with scattered layers of limestone. The perfect foundation for a wonderfully powerful wine.

The identity of Canalicchio di Sopra

Canalicchio di Sopra is the story of a winery that encompasses the history of winemaking in Montalcino over the past 50 years, its growth, and its global success. The first bottle of Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino was produced in 1966. In 1967, Canalicchio di Sopra was one of the twelve founding members of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. Elegance is the essence of Canalicchio's philosophy. The wines are made with great passion and respect for the territory. A conscious decision was made to work with just one grape variety: Sangiovese. Over time, the winemakers discovered the unique characteristics of this grape and how it develops differently in each cru. The winery wanted to build its identity around this.

Completely manual harvest of the Sangiovese

After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo rigorous selection. Only the finest juice makes it into the bottle. After harvesting, the grapes are macerated on the skins for 15 to 20 days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats under controlled temperatures. Finally, the wine is aged for 36 months in Slavonian barrels and then for a further year in the bottle. The aroma of this Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino is refreshing with notes of herbs, cherries, and berries. The palate is very full and distinctive, with velvety tannins and rich flavors of black fruit, herbs, tobacco, vanilla, and licorice. The finish of this Brunello di Montalcino is long and ripe.
