Brunello di Montalcino Docg 2015 75 cl Canalicchio di Sopra

CDS BRU15

Produced from vineyards which are over 10 years old, it represents the essence of own concept of terroir: an expression of elegance, depth, and freshness of our Sangiovese, able to unite its balsamic quality of the north side of Montalcino with the opulence of own lands.

Wine type: DOCG

Grape variety: Sangiovese 100%

Altitude: Average of 300 Meters Above Sea Level

Soil type: The vintage Brunello di Montalcino "Canalicchio di Sopra" is the result of a blend of two different soils: Terrain with a marked clay component, very rich in intermediate elements such as Magnesium, Iron and Manganese characteristic of the Cru Canalicchio and a "galestro" soil high with a very high mineral component, loamy texture with a high presence of silt, characteristic of the Cru Montosoli.

The blend favors wines of great minerality and sapidity, supported by excellent acidity ideal for long aging.

Training System: Cordon trained and spur pruned (Spurrend cordon)

Vineyard: Grapes from the two estate Crus were used to make this wine (Canalicchio 40% and Montosoli 60%): the choice to increase Montosoli over the traditional 50/50 is due to the better concentration in the grapes in this area.

Vinification: In steel tanks with fermentation temperature control, daily soft pumping over. Maceration on the skins for 25 days

Aging: 36 months in slavonian Oak casks (2500 and 5000 Liters)

First year of production: 1966
