In 1962, Azienda Agricola Canalicchio di Sopra was founded by Primo Pacenti. The estate is located in the northern part of the municipality of Montalcino. Canalicchio owns 60 hectares of land, of which 15 hectares are planted with vineyards and 2 hectares with olives. For 3 generations, wine has been produced with great passion and skill, using the latest technologies with respect for old traditions and nature. The vines are planted in two different zones in Montalcino, namely: Canalicchio di Sopra and Le Gode di Montosoli. The differences in location and soil provide different types of Sangiovese, which are carefully fused together in the cellars to create a beautiful result.

This Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso is a 100% Sangiovese and is the younger and more versatile version of the Sangiovese with less muscle (but perhaps a little more elegance) than its big brother the Brunello. A wine in which the Sangiovese succeeds in reconciling the fresh characteristics with power and concentration as they can only do in Montalcino. Fantastic structure, concentration, sweet tannins and depth characterize this wine.

Soil
This wine comes mainly from vineyards with soils with a pronounced clay component, which are very rich in magnesium, iron and manganese. In some vintages, a small percentage of the grapes can come from the Montosoli Cru.

Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats under controlled temperatures and daily pumping over. Maceration on the skins for 15-20 days, then 12 months maturation in Slavonian oak barrels (50 hl and 25 hl), and French oak barrels (750 litres). This Rosso di Montalcino is produced only from grapes from the youngest vineyards. The grapes from the vineyards that are more than 10 years old are allowed to mature in oak for a few more years to produce Brunello di Montalcino and its Riserva. The youngest vineyards have more abundant fruit and sweeter, silkier tannins, even after a year in wood: that is why they are best expressed in Rosso di Montalcino.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze 2019 Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino biedt helder rood fruit zoals kers en framboos, florale tonen, zilte mineraliteit, frisse zuren en zachte zoete tannines met een subtiele kruidigheid van het eikenhout, wat voor een elegante maar geconcentreerde smaak zorgt. Dankzij die frisse zuurgraad en elegante structuur vormt hij een perfecte match met gevogelte, charcuterie, hartige kazen, pasta en pizza; de wijn snijdt door vetten van prosciutto en gesmolten kaas en vult tomaat- en vleessauzen mooi aan. Probeer hem bij gegrilde of langzaam geroosterde kip met rozemarijn, een rijke ragù of een houtovenpizza met salami en pecorino voor extra harmonie en plezier.
