The Brunello di Montalcino from the Tuscan winery Canalicchio di Sopra is produced with 100% grapes Sangiovese cultivated within the Canalicchio and Montorsoli hills; the soils are clayey and rich in mineral components and this will give a certain flavor and slight acidity to the wine during refinement. After manual harvesting, the grapes subjected to pressing are then fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature; followed by maceration on the skins for 25 days. Refinement, however, requires a period of 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels.
Characteristics of this Tuscan wine
Upon organoleptic examination this wine has a bright ruby red colour; the finesse and depth immediately emerge on the nose with hints of small red fruit and flowers, to then move on to spicy aromas of licorice and aromatic herbs. The tannin is elegant and fine and the persistence is very long.
Recommended pairings while tasting this Tuscan wine
Perfect wine with both grilled and stewed red meats; to try with blue cheeses and mushroom risotto. To be served at a temperature of 16-18°C in a not very large glass.
