Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino ‘La Casaccia’ 2020

15% abv

Vol- 75cl

“Dark and brooding, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casaccia slowly blossoms in the glass with a dramatic mix of steeped plums, cinnamon sticks, grilled herbs and sweet lavender. This is a model of purity, lifted and refined with soft textures and cool-toned acidity lending freshness as ripe red and hints of blue fruit settle upon the senses. The 2020 firms up through the finish, taking on a pleasantly bitter tinge that puckers the cheeks as grippy tannins and crunchy mineral tones frame the experience without getting in the way of its energetic persona.” 2027 – 2038
96 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous , November 2023

“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” 2026 – 2042
95 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate, November 2024

Francesco Ripaccioli continues his work to further define the unique parcels within each of his vineyards, and to use them accordingly to create wines that are unmistakably Northern Montalcino in character with stunning balance and structure. One of the original Brunello wineries, it takes its name from the Canalicchio or little stream that lies above (Sopra) the stunning new subterranean winery where the Casaccia cru is produced. They also have vines on the facing Montosoli hill. Vines are farmed organically although not certified and the family history in the region is carried aloft by the assiduous knowledge and feel for the fruit that they continue to pursue.
