Tasting Notes: Canalicchio is one of the small cult producers in the zone and one of my favorites owned by Francesco Ripaccioli. Winemaker Primo Pacenti has been making wine in these limestone and clay soils since the 1960’s. The wines have huge extraction and are described as elegant monster. Huge gobs of dark chewy fruit cloaked by toasty oak with superb structure. Since 1999 has never got less than 90 pts by Parker, top vintages gets no less than 93 pts Parker. The regular Brunello in 2006 got 94 pts by Parker. The Riserva should definitely do better. Also a monster 94 pts by Tanzer.
