Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2019

98 Points | CWA
“This deeply satisfying Brunello is super intense and age worthy, with layers upon layers of ripe red fruit, smoky oak, flowers and chocolate. The palate is delicious and fresh, with red and black cherries, tobacco, dried flowers, spices and olive tapenade. Wonderful acidity and firm tannins to balance well with rich pasta ragout or grilled meats. The most complete and complex Brunello we have tasted from this Estate. THE vintage to get for your cellar.” - California Wine Advisors

“Dusty violets, lavender and cloves accentuate dried black cherries as the dramaic 2019 Brunello di Montalcino smolders up from the glass. This is impossible to ignore, bursting with energy as depths of ripe red fruits, chalky minerals and exotic spices saturate all they touch, balanced by textures of pure silk. The 2019 finishes with fantasic length and concentraion, leaving a staining of tart blackberry and hints of orange that curl the tongue as crunchy tannins tug at the palate. It's rare to see such a combination of vibrancy and power. Canalicchio di Sopra nailed it in 2019. Wow.” - Vinous
