Canalicchio di Sopra, 2001Elegance. Terroir. Depth. These are the pillars of Canalicchio di Sopra, one of the great Montalcino estates. Their Riserva is produced only in great vintages and in limited quantities from the oldest vineyards on the estate, the Vigna Vecchia Mercatale. The Northern exposure only ripens to fruition in the finest of vintages, when achieved the results are stunning. Capitalizing on the complexities of a wine worthy being called a Riserva, the additional nuances from twenty years in the bottle place this wine in stratosphere of its own in terms of texture and flavor.
