Canalicchio di Sopra makes one of the best Rossos in the entire appellation. I'm reviewing the 2015 Rosso di Montalcino now, although the 2016 is about to be bottled and will soon replace it (so stay tuned). This is an intense and generous wine that shows a richer and darker appearance compared to its peers. The bouquet is sharp, almost piquant, with beautifully fresh cherry and blackberry fruit. Those plump, sweet flavors are followed by crisp acidity. I highly recommend this great value buy.

Sweet, ripe cherry, spice, licorice and leather flavors course through the fleshy texture in this red. Balanced, with a dense matrix of tannins and fine length. Drink now through 2022. 3,500 cases made, 1,250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add
