Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017

Aromas of underbrush, blue flowers and ripe black fruit mingle with new leather. The concentrated, full-bodied palate doles out ripe plum, fleshy black cherry, star anise and tobacco set against velvety, enveloping tannins. A great performance! This will offer years of fine drinking.'' 95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

''This red bursts with sweet, ripe cherry and plum fruit, with tobacco, leather and mineral elements adding depth as it builds to a lingering conclusion. Shows fine balance, a vibrant structure and excellent length.'' 94 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Magazine

''Cherry, almond, dried flowers, black tea, dried herbs. It’s medium-bodied, fine tannin, strawberry and red cherry, almond, a blood orange tang to acidity with a nutty, liquorice-laced and perfumed finish offering more of those black tea-like tannins and excellent length. Classic style, and beautifully made too.'' 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

''As you drive downhill from the hamlet of Montalcino on its north side, you pass the Canalicchio di Sopra winery, which is located in a shallow, sun-lit basin of vines. This estate is meticulous and studied in its winemaking philosophy, and the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is an expression of that concentration. This Brunello reveals awesome purity and intensity with wild cherry, almond and lilac spread over a mid-weight finish.'' 94 Points, Wine Advocate Magazine
