Single-vineyard Brunello from Montosolione of Montalcino’s most coveted hillside crus. Marly soils with very high mineral content at 215255 meters, vines planted in 1997. Where the estate’s regular Brunello blends two terroirs for breadth, this wine zeroes in on Montosoli’s vertical character: sapidity, length, and mineral depth. From Canalicchio di Sopra, a founding member of the Brunello Consorzio in 1967, now led by third-generation Francesco Ripaccioli. Hand-selected, 25 days of maceration. A wine built for the long haul.
