Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Monica Larner
Francesco Ripaccioli normally releases this wine earlier than his Brunellos. But this year, it's nice to be able to taste the estate's entire line together. The Canalicchio di Sopra 2022 Rosso di Montalcino boasts a beautiful bouquet with lots of energy and punchy freshness. The quality of the fruit is bright and vigorous with wild cherry, cassis and violet. Those sweet fruit notes are balanced by just a hint of toasted spice. I would put this bottle on a short list of my favorite new Rosso releases. Production is 33,000 bottles.

Savory berries and plums with touches of iron and minerals on the nose. Juicy on the palate, with a medium body and a mouthful of dusty tannins. A solid Rosso di Montalcino. Drink now.
