Canalcchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino 2022
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 (750L). Wild cherry, dark raspberry, balsam flood the floral palate, with graphite and gravels rolling underneath. Crunchy acidity stream this along the palate, while tight, finely sticky / grippy tannins house this through the saline finish. Ample Brunello fruit gets declassified into here, making their Rosso a hot ticket. Super smart.Tasted: 11 September 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $47.00 | 750ml | consignment |
