Wine Description:
Canalicchio di Sopra La Casaccia Brunello di Montalcino is a single vineyard wine produced by the Canalicchio di Sopra winery in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the La Casaccia vineyard, which is known for its ideal microclimate that results in exceptionally ripe fruit. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long, 3-week, maceration and several years of aging in large, old, oak barrels, resulting in a complex and structured wine with notes of red fruit, spice, and leather. This Brunello di Montalcino is a perfect representation of the region's terroir and the winery's commitment to quality.

Wine Expert Note:

This Canalicchio di Sopra La Casaccia Brunello di Montalcino is a robust and powerful red wine. The wine presents a deep, ruby color. The nose is ripe with flavors of baked plum and black cherry. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured with grainy tannins and vibrant, balancing acidity. This wine is a great example of the classic Brunello di Montalcino style, with a depth and complexity that will reward further aging over the next 15 years. Serve with meat-based dishes that have been cooked low-and-slow.
