TASTING NOTES
A lot of people over use the term "baby Brunello" with respect to Rosso, but this really is a baby Brunello! A dusty structure with grip and sandy texture, a touch of balsamic, raspberries, sweet orange rind and grapefruit.

From the winery: "Despite higher spring temperatures than the avarage with less rainfalls and a dry and hot summertime, grapes were in perfect shape thanks to the clay soil that hold water deeper, surviving the drought of the whole year. Consequently vines soffered, getting a faster maturation of the grapes. Few rainfalls in September brought a balance that allow us to harvest at the beginning of the month. A good vintage, with -30% of the entire production due to the frost we had in April when bud breaks already started due to higher temperatures".
Rosildo Pacenti, born in 1924, purchased the Canalicchio farm in 1962 and was among the 25 founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino in 1967. His son Franco turned the winery into a world-class producer and now, his children, Lisa, Serena and Lorenzo are largely responsible for production.
