Wine Critic Reviews
This is a relatively new addition to the Canalicchio di Sopra portfolio, and even its modern graphic label design represents a break from the rest of the line, which has more nostalgic labels that feature Montalcino's medieval main square. The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia takes a little longer to open, but it ultimately reveals the elegance and energy that comes with the house style. Wild cherry, ash and balsam herb drive a long, very polished finish. The La Casaccia site is distinguished by mineral-rich clay soils, which give this wine its power and density. Production is limited to 4,133 bottles in this vintage.

A whiff of confectionary spice, violet pastille, blood orange and blackberry wafts up from the exotic 2017 Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia. This has found a lovely balance through bottle age, with soft and round textures, ripe wild berry fruits, inner florals and brisk acidity that enlivens the close. Its tannins emerge through the finish, angular and drying, yet maintaining freshness as a sour cherry tinge puckers the cheeks. While its bouquet shows the dry warmth of the vintage, the 2017 comes across as harmonious throughout.
