Canalicchio di Sopra’s 2018 Vigna Montosoli its debut single vineyard bottling from this celebrated hill is drop dead gorgeous Fragrant and all about elegance it opens with enticing scents of wild rose, botanical herb new leather and forest berry Seamlessly fusing finesse and structure the delicious palate delivers juicy Morello cherry, raspberry sprinkled with cinnamon rosemary and thyme before a savory saline mineral finish It boats great energy and impeccable balance, with taut refined tannins and vibrant acidity I just love it Drink 2025 2038—Kerin O’Keefe

purity of fruit and inner sweetness, seeming to hover across the palate, as red berries and saline-minerals slowly saturate under a purple-tinged air of inner florals. The 2018 leaves a grippy coating of fine tannins, yet balances them with a residual bump of zesty acidity, finishing long, lightly structured and with
immaculate balance. This is the first official vintage of Vigna Montosoli, a wine that I've been following now for over two years, and each time it seems to only grow in both volume and depth.—Eric Guido, Vinous Media
