Brunello di Montalcino 2019, Canalicchio di Sopra
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino from Canalicchio di Sopra is a monument to balance, a masterful synthesis of the power of a historic vintage and the elegance of the northern slopes. The Ripaccioli family has skillfully managed the richness of 2019, offering a wine that is an "athlete in a tuxedo." On the nose, it is an explosion of precision: notes of big cherry, small black fruits, and violet blend with balsamic hints of licorice, wet earth, and a mineral trace of slate. On the palate, it is voluminous and deep; the tannic structure is dense, almost granular, yet extremely refined, supported by an acidic backbone that provides impressive verticality. The finish is very long, savory and fresh, with echoes of medicinal herbs that continually invite another sip.
