Rosso di Montalcino, Canalicchio di Sopra 2023

Red Wine from Italy - Tuscany

0 Reviews

Elegant and energetic, this Tuscan red is a superb introduction to the wonderful wines of Canalicchio di Sopra. Winemaker and third-generation family member Francesco Ripaccioli describes his Rosso di Montalcino as the estate's 'business card' as it is effectively a declassified Brunello (since 95% of their vineyards qualify as Brunello). The 2023 is vividly fresh and layered, with the red-cherry and rosemary flavours, but also displaying savoury spice and a stony-mineral edge. This has real intensity at its core and brilliant ageing potential.

Canalicchio Di Sopra

Located in Montalcino in Tuscany, this fine estate is run by the gifted Francesco Ripaccioli, whose parents first decided to leave the local co-operative and bottle on their own wine in 1966. As well as vineyards, the family estate also contains two hectares of olive groves.

The heart of the estate is 16 hectares of Brunello vines. Importantly, these are in two different locations, which combine to add extra complexity to the family’s wine. 10 hectares are on clay soils at Canalicchio, to the north of the town, while six hectares are at Gode di Montosoli on rocky, galestro (schist) soil, giving added structure. Only vines which are over 20 years old are used for the family’s Brunello.
