Canalicchio di Sopra takes great care with its entry-level wine, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino. It displays a warm and generous personality despite its petite stature and pleasantly streamlined mouthfeel. Along the way, this Sangiovese emits dark cherry, cassis, blue flower, iris root and a rusty-mineral note. There is structure here and good fruit weight, which makes this much more than your standard Rosso. The only point of concern is a robust 15% alcohol content.

This red has a plush texture, along with lively acidity that focuses the black cherry, blackberry, plum, iron and underbrush flavors. Complex and solidly structured, with a long finish. Drink now through 2027. 2,800 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add
