This 2018 Canalicchio di Sopra Vigna Montesoli is the first release for this producer from their single vineyard Montesoli. Montesoli is probably the most famous vineyard in Brunello area and is situated in northern part of the Docg. The nose is gentle and elegant with intriguing, mineral, savory notes like dark earth, wet stones and mushroom that weave their way around the red cherry and flowers. There is a sort of stoney, fresh, earth feeling of terroir on the palate accompanied by a great texture and some lovely, creamy, fragrant oak-spice. This wine shows great harmony and ease on the palate. It disappears in a wonderful, silky flow with a gossamer-like texture and a little dark earth and iron twist to the flavors on the finish. What a great debut!-Susan Hulme, Wine Independent. purity of fruit and inner sweetness, seeming to hover across the palate, as red berries and saline-minerals slowly saturate under a purple-tinged air of inner florals. The 2018 leaves a grippy coating of fine tannins, yet balances them with a residual bump of zesty acidity, finishing long, lightly structured and with immaculate balance. This is the first official vintage of Vigna Montosoli, a wine that I've been following now for over two years, and each time it seems to only grow in both volume and depth.-Eric Guido, Vinous Media. The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is fresh with aromas of clove, orange peel, peppercorns, and candied cranberries. Medium-bodied, savory, and mineral-toned, with fine, present tannins, a more angular structure, and a crispy freshness throughout, it's going to need another few years.
