Tasting Notes

A juicy Tuscan village red that is close in style to its big sibling, the classic Brunello di Montalcino style. From the younger wines of the estate, this Rosso 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.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Produced mostly from our youngest vineyards, it represents our calling card for Canalicchio di Sopra wines: a young, fruity, and versatile expression of our Sangiovese. The first vintage was produced in 1975 when it was still called Red Wine from Brunello vines."

Reviews for the 2022 vintage below…

92/100 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, November 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Francesco Ripaccioli normally releases this wine earlier than his Brunellos. But this year, it's nice to be able to taste the estate's entire line together. The Canalicchio di Sopra 2022 Rosso di Montalcino boasts a beautiful bouquet with lots of energy and punchy freshness. The quality of the fruit is bright and vigorous with wild cherry, cassis and violet. Those sweet fruit notes are balanced by just a hint of toasted spice. I would put this bottle on a short list of my favorite new Rosso releases."

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."
