2020 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casaccia

(95 Points) Starting with this vintage, the Canalicchio di Sopra 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casaccia carries a "Vigna" designation. La Casaccia is a two-hectare parcel with clay soils rich in minerals that was planted in 1990. Francesco Ripaccioli embarked on an estate-wide mapping project about 10 years ago to determine which parcels would be worthy of single-vineyard distinction. This wine always has an elegant brightness about it with aromas of iris root, blood orange and tart forest berry. This vintage delivers moderately more heft and intensity to the bouquet, although it remains understated in terms of palate. Give it more time to flesh out. Only 4,133 bottles were made.  The Wine Advocate
