Canalicchio di Sopra CANALICCHIO DI SOPRA Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Description

The Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a cult among lovers of the sub-area north of Montalcino

Founded in 1962 by Primo Pacenti and now owned by his son Pier Luigi Ripaccioli, Canalicchio di Sopra reflects the history of Montalcino. Located in the northern area of the municipality, Canalicchio’s 60 hectares of land are at one of the highest altitudes in the district, receiving limited exposure to the influence of the Mediterranean Sea. This position allows the estate to produce exceptional wines in difficult years because it is sheltered from Mount Amiata. Canalicchio’s special microclimates protect the vineyards from excessive heat or rain, hail, and generally helps the winery’s grapes ripen evenly.

Guided by the past and influenced by the present, Canalicchio di Sopra’s winemaking protocol brings together the best of modern and traditional methods to produce an authentic Brunello that is the product of the high altitude of its vineyards and terroir north of Montalcino.
