Canalcchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino 2019
Tuscany, ItalyProduced mostly from their youngest vineyards, this Rosso represents their calling card for Canalicchio di Sopra wines: a young, fruity, and versatile expression of their estate Sangiovese. This comes mainly from vineyards located in the Canalicchio Cru, with ample clay, magnesium, iron and Manganese soils. It was macerated and fermented in stainless over three weeks, before resting one year in Slavonian Oak Barrels (50 hl and 25 hl), and French oak barrels (750 liters). Lively and fresh, with an alluring ferrous minerality brightening wild cherry, black raspberry, dried herbs, subtle dark cocoa and candle wax. Acidity is lofted, and tannins are long, fine, and firm, directing this medium bodied red to a salt and pepper finish. Well knit, even in youth, this is drinking very smartly now.Tasted: 29 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:| ON | $31.95 | 750ml | consignment |
