The Rosso di Montalcino is made by the Canalicchio di Sopra winery using pure Sangiovese grapes, a variety cultivated with the spurred cordon system in parcels located about 300 meters above sea level. The soil is mainly composed of clay and is rich in elements such as magnesium, iron, and manganese. The fermentation of the must takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and the maceration in contact with the skins lasts a total of 20 days. The wine is then transferred for 12 months in both Slavonian oak barrels and tonneau – for 30% of the total mass – to carry out the final aging.
The Rosso di Montalcino from Canalicchio di Sopra presents itself to the eye with a bright ruby color, endowed with a particular brightness. It is the small red fruit, along with the scent of dried flowers, that presents an orderly nose, whose profile is also enriched with hints of spices and aromatic herbs. Subtle and delicate is the entry on the palate, which outlines a broad sip in which the freshness of the sip and the excellent processing of the tannin are appreciated. It closes with a finish characterized by a fruity aftertaste. To be the business card of the entire company production, the level is already very high!
