Canalicchio di Sopra was founded in 1962 by Primo Pacenti, and today is led by his grandchildren, Francesco, Simonetta and Marco Ripaccioli.
Francesco continues Primo’s work, defining their unique parcels in Northern Montalcino, reflected in wines of outstanding balance and structure.
The Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino are both based on parcels of Canalicchio and Montosoli. The Canalicchio soils are clay with pebbles, yielding wines of aromatic intensity and minerality, while the Montosoli soils are marly clay with high lime content, resulting in wines of structure and sapidity.
Winemaking is traditional with minimal intervention, and ageing in Slavonian oak botti.
