Der Brunello di Montalcino repräsentiert die Essence des Weinguts Canalicchio di Sopra: Er ist elegant, tief und kraftvoll und bringt die Frische der Sangiovese Traube zur vollen Geltung. Der Brunello di Montalcino entsteht aus Trauben der älteren Reben aus dem Bereich Montosoli, mit einem sehr mineralischen Galestro Anteil. Dazu kommen Trauben aus dem Bereich Canalicchio di Sopra der durch tiefe Böden mit Lehmanteil charakterisiert ist. Der Ausbau erfolgt für 3 Jahre in traditionellen Fässern aus slavonischer Eiche.
Die Weine zeichnen sich durch eine große Mineralität und Saftigkeit aus, unterstützt von einer ausgezeichneten frischen Säure, die unter anderem auch die große Langlebigkeit der Weine unterstützt.
Vinous, Eric Guido, November 2023:
2016 Canalicchio di Sopra - Ripaccioli, Brunello di Montalcino 95/100, Drinking Window: 2026 - 2040
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino soothes the senses with a bouquet that evokes spiced cherry herbal tea, incense and cloves with an enriching touch of brown spice. This is maturing beautifully and evenly, now more pliant and silky, still full of youthful tension yet undeniably attractive and refined. The 2016's tannins remain firm, fine-grained and enveloping, leaving hints of licorice and a bitter blackberry tinge that puckers the cheeks. An understated beauty.

The Canalicchio di Sopra 2016 Brunello di Montalcino shows balance and symmetry with that difficult twofold delivery of power and elegance. This terrific new release shows dark fruit and tart cherry, but then unwinds slowly to reveal light spice, toasted nut, blue flower and crushed limestone. The wine affords a genuine sense of place with roots in the northern half of the appellation where the light is whiter and the nights are cooler. That brilliant luminosity appears in the pure quality of fruit and the sharp focus of the mouthfeel, driven by balanced tannins and acidity. The sensation it gives is compact and long, without too much extra volume or padding. This wine is like a contoured, chiseled and carefully polished marble statue that you would see in a Renaissance church.
