Single-vineyard Brunello from Montosoli—one of Montalcino's most coveted hillside crus. Marly soils with very high mineral content at 215–255 meters, vines planted in 1997. Where the estate's regular Brunello blends two terroirs for breadth, this wine zeroes in on Montosoli's vertical character: sapidity, length, and mineral depth. From Canalicchio di Sopra, a founding member of the Brunello Consorzio in 1967, now led by third-generation Francesco Ripaccioli. Hand-selected, 25 days of maceration. A wine built for the long haul.

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is impossible to ignore. It opens with a distinctly savory bouquet of ashen stones, rosemary, dusty violets and crushed blackberries. Elegant in style, it floods the palate with polished red berry fruits, violet tones and silken textures. The 2021 tapers off harmoniously with excellent length, leaving edgy tannins to pinch the cheeks as nuances of sour cherry fade. This is an understated yet deeply complex beauty, and easily one of the wines of the vintage." —Eric Guido

"Marked by exceptional mineral clarity, the Canalicchio di Sopra 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli stands out for its saline, almost salty character that brings brilliance and focus to the fruit. The friable, schistic galestro soils of Montosoli lend the wine its signature intensity and brightness, resulting in a deeply expressive and beautifully articulated palate that shines in this vintage. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by 36 months of aging in large Slavonian oak casks." —Monica Larner

"The Canalicchio di Sopra 2021 Brunello Vigna Montosoli is absolutely gorgeous, starting with its beautiful aromas of violet, lavender, Mediterranean scrub, perfumed berry and sandalwood. Elegantly structured and showing great intensity, the savory palate delivers succulent Marasca cherry, wild raspberry, licorice and blood orange underpinned by mint and saline minerality. Tightly woven, velvety tannins and fresh acidity keep it impeccably balanced." —Kerin O’Keefe
