2010 is one of the great structured Brunello vintages of the modern era - warm, sun-filled days, strikingly cool nights, and a long luminous September that gave ripeness without weight - and Canalicchio di Sopra is the producer to taste it from. The Ripaccioli family farms in the northern zone of Montalcino, with parcels in the historic Canalicchio area (calcareous, clay-rich soils) and on the famed hill of Montosoli (mineral-rich marl and clay-loam over limestone), the Canalicchio parcels at around 300 meters and Montosoli lower down, closer to 220. Francesco Ripaccioli now leads the third generation, and the standard Brunello here draws on both zones. Sixteen years on, this back-vintage bottle is in a beautiful spot: underbrush, ripe cherry, leather and tobacco over the firm-but-fine-grained tannins that mark serious Sangiovese. Decant, and drink now through the mid-2030s.

Antonio Galloni

"Dark red cherries, plums, spices, mint, licorice and hard candy jump from the glass in the estate's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino. Ripe, juicy and deeply expressive, the 2010 boasts stunning mid-palate density. Even with all of its immediacy and voluptuousness, the 2010 has enough structure to drink well for another 20+ years. The Canalicchio Brunellos always offer power, but the 2010 overlays tons of finesse to round things out." —Antonio Galloni

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino will blow you away. This is a delightful expression that boasts its extreme quality from the minute the wine is poured from the bottle. As you should expect, it just gets better and better with each additional minute in the glass. It opens to a vibrant dark ruby color and blackish-garnet hues. The bouquet is ever changing and shows a long succession of aromatic characteristics that rage from dark fruit, plum, spice, leather, licorice, red rose, balsam and grilled herb. It's textbook Brunello from a great vintage and this side of the appellation (on the northeastern side) performs fantastically in 2010. This beauty should hold fifteen years or more." —Monica Larner

"Aromas of dark berry, mint savory herb, blue flower and a balsamic note lead the nose. On the concentrated palate, notes of white pepper, cinnamon, clove, licorice and tobacco add depth to the black cherry core. Youthfully austere but fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity support the juicy flavors. Give this time to fully open and develop complexity." —Kerin O'Keefe

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bistecca alla fiorentina, wild-boar ragu over pappardelle, lamb shank with rosemary, or aged pecorino. Anything off the Tuscan playbook - slow-cooked, savory, herb-driven - works beautifully here.

Tasting Profile

Ripe morello cherry, dried plum, wild berry, leather, pipe tobacco, and a flicker of truffle over crushed stone and underbrush. Full-bodied and elegantly structured with firm, fine-grained tannins, singing acidity, and a long, black-tea finish.
