Montalcino – Canalicchio di Sopra – Brunello di Montalcino “Casaccia” 2016

En mycket fin årgång av Canalicchio di Sopras nya “single-vineyard-vin”: Brunello “La Casaccia” som precis fått 96p av Wine Advocate / Robert Parker: “This is a newish single-vineyard wine (it’s the second vintage) created by Francesco Ripaccioli and the team at Canalicchio di Sopra at the conclusion of an ambitious estate-wide mapping project. The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino La Casaccia draws its fruit from a two-hectare site planted in 1990 with clay soils and rich in mineral components. A precious 4,133 bottles were made. What I like most is the tightness of the fruit, which you chip away at slowly as the wine softens and yields in the glass. Each layer brings you forest fruit, sour cherry, almond, lilac and candied orange peel. On a second swirl, you might get black olive, bay leaf and scorched earth. There are subtle mineral notes, but what La Casaccia ultimately offers is that uniquely compact and extremely polished quality of fruit.”. Obs begränsat antal om 60 flaskor.
