The Rosso di Montalcino Doc 2019 “Canalicchio di Sopra” celebrates in the most immediate and enjoyable version the intensity of a generous vintage. 2019 was a year of great ripening, where the balance of the grapes was guaranteed by a constant and balanced climatic trend, thus creating the prerequisites for great ripening. The purity of the fruit is expressed in a pronounced and explosive way with a surprising youth that recalls the vinosity and the concentration of the vintage. The younger vineyards used for this Rosso di Montalcino together with small selections of the older vineyards have guaranteed this vintage all the exuberance typical of this wine which joins the freshness and well-balanced acidity in a combination of great pleasure.
