Canalicchio di Sopra was one of the twelve founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino in ‘67. Since then, three generations have meticulously nurtured this legacy, weaving tradition with innovation to craft wines of exceptional quality and character. Canalicchio di Sopra embraces a strong \"terroir-driven\" philosophy, with a focus on elegance. Canalicchio owns some of the best vineyards in all of Brunello. Their geological diversity (galestro soil in Montosoli, marine sediments, and other clay-dominant soils) imparts profound complexity to the grapes. They killed it in 2019! We are convinced that Montosoli is among the very best terroir in the entire Brunello area.  It’s the oldest Cru in all of Brunello and its highest point. Wines always have a more elegant, graceful pitch to them. This is a show stopping wine!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinifera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46148220190968,"sku":"15721","price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"sesti-castello-di-argiano-brunello-di-montalcino-10","title":"2019 Sesti (Castello di Argiano), Brunello di Montalcino","description":"\u003cp class=\"xmsonormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eGiuseppe Sesti is one of Tuscany’s most vivid wine personalities. He moved to the region in the 1970’s, but it wasn’t until 1989 that he planted his first vines, near the castle ruins of Argiano (about 2 miles away from Soldera) from Il Poggione Cuttings. His impetus for having the best raw material prompted him to make natural wine from the get-go, though he has always shunned any official certification. The vines at Sesti have now entered a perfect period of maturity and Giuseppe’s vision has been further fine-tuned by his talented daughter, Elisa, who has been working alongside him since 1999.

As one of Montalcino's pioneering organic producers, Le Chiuse, led by the Biondi-Santi family's descendants, champions traditional methods, including fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in large Slavonian oak.
