2000 Canalicchio Di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino

The vintage Brunello di Montalcino "Canalicchio di Sopra" is the result of a blend of two different soils: Terrain with a marked clay component, very rich in intermediate elements such as Magnesium, Iron and Manganese characteristic of the Cru Canalicchio and a "galestro" soil high with a very high mineral component, loamy texture with a high presence of silt, characteristic of the Cru Montosoli.  The blend favors wines of great minerality and sapidity, supported by excellent acidity ideal for long aging.
