The 2012 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is the synthesis of the climactic conditions of the vintage and of the choice in vineyards used for this wine. Grapes from the estate cru (50% Canalicchio and 50% Montosoli) were used. The balanced that was achieved is based on a pleasant contrast between the warm and cool periods of the year: from the minerality in the mouth, typical of a fresher year, that contrasts the opulence and the sweeter fullness on the nose, typical of a warmer year. Elegant and silky tannins that give depth to the wine. The acidity, integrated and balanced yet present and vibrant, give the vintage the prospect of a long refining in the bottle.
Grape variety : 100% Sangiovese
Soil : Brunello di Montalcino “Canalicchio di Sopra” vintage 2012 is the result of a blend of two different soils: Soil with a strong clayey component, very rich in intermediate elements such as magnesium, iron and Manganese characteristic of the Cru Canalicchio and a marly soil placed in an elevated position with a very high mineral component, clayey texture with a high presence of silt, characteristic of the Montosoli Cru. The blend favors wines of great minerality and flavor, supported by excellent acidity ideal for long aging
