Canalicchio di Sopra

Now run by the family’s third generation, Canalicchio di Sopra was one of the 12 founding brands of the Brunello di Montalcino Wine Consortium in 1967. Located on the north side of Montalcino, their vineyards extend for 19 ha within the "Canalicchio" cru and "Montosoli" hill. “Francesco Ripaccioli and his siblings ... studied each location to break them down into micro-terroirs within the larger parcels. Today, each plot is treated individually in the vineyards and is vinified separately. This allows the winery to design the perfect blend, year after year…” – Vinous, Nov/2021
