Canalicchio di Sopra Description
The Vigna Casaccia, which lends its name to a Canalicchio Cru, represents our desire to valorize the uniqueness of a vineyard that is able to maintain its strong identity and quality of being recognizable even in different vintages. Over the years, it has been the vineyard that has shown us how opulence and freshness can coexist in the same bottle.
In a year, which was extreme in some respects, La Casaccia vineyard confirms our concept of the single vineyard, that is choosing a vineyard which can express all of its uniqueness and personality even over different years, a vineyard which is less susceptible to the climactic conditions of the vintage and able to bring out its nuances and features yet remains faithful to its land. The result is a Casaccia in line with the characteristics of this vineyard where opulence and elegance as well as minerality and sweetness meld together in a wine of great structure with a thick and silky tannic line, enveloping but at the same time deep, lingering, and full-flavoured, with a good vibration.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
This is a relatively new addition to the Canalicchio di Sopra portfolio, and even its modern graphic label design represents a break from the rest of the line, which has more nostalgic labels that feature Montalcino's medieval main square. The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia takes a little longer to open, but it ultimately reveals the elegance and energy that comes with the house style. Wild cherry, ash and balsam herb drive a long, very polished finish. The La Casaccia site is distinguished by mineral-rich clay soils, which give this wine its power and density. Production is limited to 4,133 bottles in this vintage.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Black cherry and blackberry flavors hold court in this dense, yet vibrant red, which is defined by brisk acidity. Stays beautifully integrated, harmonious and long, while earth and savory herb accents add depth. This should really sing in about 2-3 years. Best from 2024 through 2040.
