Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casaccia 2019
Canalicchio’s Francesco Ripaccioli calls the 2019 vintage “Elegant power,” and the estate’s breathtaking Brunello Casaccia embodies that name. This is a “wow” wine if ever there was one. Juicy blackberries, espresso beans, baking spices, camphor and other balsamic herbs, feral minerals, and cherry cola mingle and meld in this kaleidoscopic cru Brunello that shifts with every sip. As if its incredible palate isn’t enough, this wine stuns with its weighty, silky texture; fine-grained tannins, jaunty acidity, serious dry extract, and gorgeous chalky, saline minerals find seamless balance. Cellar for a year or two, if you have the patience, and drink for decades!
