2013 Canalicchio Brunello di Montalcino

The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a free-flowing and delicate expression of Sangiovese from a well-balanced vintage. The wine imparts variety-driven aromas of cassis, wild strawberry, cola, licorice and pressed violets. The bouquet treads with light and quiet footprints. The mouthfeel is a bit more abrupt, with sour cherry flavors and bright acidity that resets the palate. Some 20,000 bottles were made. Compared to past vintages, this wine appears a tiny bit more timid and subtle.
