Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino 2024 from Canalicchio di Sopra in northern Montalcino is a beautifully poised Sangiovese – essentially a “baby Brunello” that’s all about purity, finesse and serious drinkability.

This Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino 2024 offers crushed black and red cherries, plum, cedary spice, mint and dusty rose, with a wave of ripe red berry fruits carried by vibrant acidity. Fermented in steel then aged in large Slavonian and French oak, it’s medium‑bodied yet structured, with fine, chalky tannins and a long, savoury, mouth‑watering finish.

On the table, it’s a classic match for ragù, bistecca, porchetta, grilled lamb, mushroom risotto or aged pecorino – anything Tuscan‑inspired where those bright cherries, herbs and spice can cut through richness and bring the whole dish into focus.
