It is born from careful work on the estate's cru and precisely narrates the character of Montalcino, combining elegance, tension, and depth in a wine designed to accompany time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Brunello comes from vineyards located at an average altitude of about \u003cstrong\u003e300 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e and is created from an equal blend of the \u003cstrong\u003eCanalicchio\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMontosoli\u003c\/strong\u003e crus. The soils contribute complementarily to the wine's profile: on one side, the clay component, rich in mineral elements, and on the other, a galestro soil, higher and distinctly savory. The 2018 vintage, fresh and slightly rainier than average, has favored a Brunello di Montalcino with a transparent profile, capable of highlighting the territory with great clarity. The result is a classic, harmonious style suitable for long aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino 2018 DOCG Canalicchio di Sopra\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a profile oriented towards finesse, with pure fruit and a clear territorial imprint.
