Canalicchio di Sopra

clay soils that underlie the qualities of minerality, sapidity, opulence, and robustness. In the Montosoli cru, the vineyards of Piano, Mezzo, Poggio, and Filari Lunghi provide characteristics of aromaticity, elegance, and freshness for long aging. The training system used is the spurred cordon, and the grapes are selected manually. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, while maceration in contact with the skins lasts for 20-28 days depending on the type of production, and the wines are aged in Slavonian oak barrels.clay that underlie the qualities of minerality, sapidity, opulence, and robustness.

The long tradition of the Canalicchio di Sopra winery produces wines of great volume and minerality, characterized by extreme elegance, especially regarding the vineyards of Canalicchio. The wines of Montosoli, on the other hand, are more tense and refined. It is the particularly clayey and mineral-rich soils that provide a wide aromatic range and complexity. In over fifty years of history, this historic winery has carved out a reputation for choices in production linked more to qualitative motivations than commercial ones. The sun on this family seems destined never to set.
