Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2020
DOZEN: $2,538.00 or $211.50 each
Now this is excellent: make no mistake about it, this is one of the top five or six 2020 Brunellos of the vintage. Bright dark red. Expressive aromas of plum, red cherry, mocha, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sweet, broad and pliant, but with amazing freshness lifting its red fruit and spicy flavours. The persistent, ripely tannic finish offers lingering notes of spices and noteworthy clarity and cut. Drinking window: 2029-2040. (97) IAN D'AGATA
Lots from the family's Vigna Vecchia Mercatale vineyard have been blended here to reinforce quality, rather than being set aside for a Riserva, and the result is very true to its character.
You could lost just in the alluring aromas of plum, fragrant blue flower, freshly mown hay, forest floor and leather on the beautiful 2020 Brunello from Canalicchio di Sopra. It's young, fresh, elegantly structured and delicious, delivering layers of Marasca cherry, raspberry, star anise and dried rosemary enveloped in velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced.
