🏰The Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia 2016 is an 【exceptional vintage Brunello, celebrated for its energy, elegance, and captivating floral perfumes】. The 2016 vintage for Brunello di Montalcino is widely regarded as outstanding, with balanced conditions leading to perfect phenolic ripeness and sustained acidity. Canalicchio di Sopra's La Casaccia vineyard, planted in 1990 on clay soils at 300 meters altitude, benefits from ample sun exposure. This second release of the single vineyard wine is a testament to the estate's ambitious mapping project. This Brunello lifts with gorgeous floral perfumes and hints of white smoke. It reveals a dark and dramatic display of 【balsamic-tinged black cherry, sage, and Indian spice, contrasted by savory tobacco and rich earth tones】. There's an amazing density of fruit, balanced by salty minerals and zesty acids, with velvety-smooth textures that remain feminine and lifted, promising over a decade of further development. 🍴 An ideal match for rich Tuscan cuisine such as wild boar ragu, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted lamb with herbs, or aged Pecorino cheese. 🥂 A magnificent wine for a milestone celebration, a sophisticated Italian-themed dinner, or as a cornerstone for a serious wine cellar, given its significant aging potential.
