Wine Critic Reviews
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is impossible to ignore. It opens with a distinctly savory bouquet of ashen stones, rosemary, dusty violets and crushed blackberries. Elegant in style, it floods the palate with polished red berry fruits, violet tones and silken textures. The 2021 tapers off harmoniously with excellent length, leaving edgy tannins to pinch the cheeks as nuances of sour cherry fade. This is an understated yet deeply complex beauty, and easily one of the wines of the vintage.

Marked by exceptional mineral clarity, the Canalicchio di Sopra 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli stands out for its saline, almost salty character that brings brilliance and focus to the fruit. The friable, schistic galestro soils of Montosoli lend the wine its signature intensity and brightness, resulting in a deeply expressive and beautifully articulated palate that shines in this vintage. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by 36 months of aging in large Slavonian oak casks. Production totals 4,133 bottles plus larger formats.
