Buy OnlineA serious Rosso that is very close in style to its big brother, the classic of Brunello di Montalcino. From the younger wines of the estate, this Rosso style is about ripe and silky red fruit and a nuanced complexity that is backed by harmonious tannin and acid structure. Truly a great Rosso, the Canalicchio is superb value.
92/100 Kerin O'Keefe (2022 Vintage)
"The lovely 2022 Rosso di Montalcino from Canalicchio di Sopra offers aromas recalling ripe red berry, eucalyptus, exotic brown spice and a whiff of licorice. Made principally with young Sangiovese vines in the estate’s Canalicchio cru and aged in Slavonian cask and in 750-liter French barrels, the elegantly structured palate offers ripe Morello cherry, blood orange, coffee bean and black tea set against taut, fine-grained tannins."
91+/100 Eric Guido, Vinous (2022 Vintage)
"Remarkably pretty and spicy to the core, the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino blossoms in the glass with a bouquet of rose petals and wild strawberries offset by white pepper. This is lifted and graceful in style with a salty, saline core that grumbles beneath its ripe wild berry fruits. It finishes tense and structured, with a trace of sour cranberry and citrus that tugs at the cheeks. The purity of Sangiovese is on full display here. Have patience with the 2022 because the best is yet to come."
