Description
Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 1996
Varietal: Sangiovese
Grapes from the two estate Crus, Canalicchio and Montosoli, were used to make this wine from vineyards more than 10 years old.
The vintage Brunello di Montalcino “Canalicchio di Sopra” is the result of a blend of two different soils: Terrain with a marked clay component, very rich in intermediate elements such as Magnesium, Iron and Manganese characteristic of the Cru Canalicchio and a “galestro” soil high with a very high mineral component, loamy texture with a high presence of silt, characteristic of the Cru Montosoli. The blend favors wines of great minerality and sapidity, supported by excellent acidity ideal for long aging.
