Canalicchio di Sopra, Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia 2019

Canalicchio di Sopra’s Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia 2019 is a beautifully concentrated expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s historic estates. Marked by depth, freshness and polished tannins, it combines the character of the estate’s northern vineyards with the long-standing traditions of Brunello production. The winery was founded in 1962 by Primo Pacenti and remains a respected reference point in the region.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby colour with garnet hues developing with age. On the nose, it reveals layers of black cherry, tobacco and balsamic notes, complemented by the earthy and savoury nuances typical of mature Sangiovese. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with supple tannins, refreshing acidity and a persistent, complex finish. The 2019 vintage has the structure and balance to develop beautifully in bottle. It is already approachable with decanting, but will reward cellaring for many years as the fruit, spice and savoury tones gain further complexity.

Production
The grapes come from Canalicchio di Sopra’s vineyards in the northern part of Montalcino, including the estate’s historic Canalicchio di Sopra and Le Gode di Montosoli sites. Differences in altitude, exposure and soil contribute distinct expressions of Sangiovese, which are carefully brought together to create a balanced and complex Brunello. The supplied information does not specify the precise harvesting or vinification methods, though the estate is known for combining modern cellar technology with respect for traditional practices and the surrounding environment.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for Tuscan and Italian dishes, this Brunello is excellent with slow-cooked beef, roast lamb, wild boar, osso buco and hearty pasta with ragù. Its acidity and tannins also work well with aged Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve at approximately 16–18°C, ideally after decanting for 1–2 hours to open the wine’s aromas and soften its structure.

Producer
Azienda Agricola Canalicchio di Sopra was founded in 1962 by Primo Pacenti and has remained in family hands for three generations. The estate covers 60 hectares, including 15 hectares of vineyards and 2 hectares of olive groves, in Montalcino’s northern sector. By combining fruit from two distinct vineyard zones with careful cellar work, Canalicchio di Sopra highlights the diversity of local Sangiovese while maintaining a strong connection to the area’s traditions and natural identity.
