Personalised Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2020 15% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Palate
The 2020 expresses itself with opulence, intensity, fruit and softness, yet also even manages to enhance the depth and freshness, as well as the floral notes in an enveloping and elegant balance.

Winemakers comments
In the practice of naming the style, which we try to do every year to encapsulate the essence of the vintage in a single word, we believe the word “Pleasantness” is the most suitable, the one which best describes the characteristics of a great vintage which expresses itself in a more immediate and ready, generous, vibrant way without neglecting those aspects of freshness and verticality which characterize the northern side of Montalcino, the only area where Canalicchio di Sopra has sought to create a precise and distinct stylistic identity over the years.

Vintage notes
The weather in 2020 can surely be ranked among the hottest years with a dry period from June 17 to August 2, but seeing it as only a hot vintage would be misleading based on the result in the bottle.

Vinification
In steel tanks with fermentation temperature control, daily soft pumping over. Maceration on the skins for 25 days.
