Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2015
Tuscany, ItalyFrancesco Ripaccioli is the third generation, along with his brother and sister, taking care of these lands. Francesco took over the winemaking from his father, overseeing the 19 vineyards across 2 cru, including their estate vineyards on the famed Montosoli Hill. This is an alluring mix of ripe red fruit, and fine, firm structure: sapidity and sweetness. A bed of leather is studded with mineral salts and layered with dried flowers, fresh and dried cherry, red currant along a very long, layered, lingering frame. Amazing presence, even now in youth, this will continue to unravel and grow in your cellar over the next decade+.Tasted: 11 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $106.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
