About this wine
Produced only in exceptional vintages, primarily from the estate's oldest vines in the Vigna Vecchia Mercatale plot (planted 1988) within the Canalicchio cru. Aged approximately 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks before extended bottle aging.
The estate's most age-worthy wine — best enjoyed after a decade or more in the cellar.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How often is this Riserva produced?
- Only in exceptional vintages — it is not made every year, and comes mainly from the estate's oldest vineyard, Vigna Vecchia Mercatale.
- What does it taste like?
- A perfumed bouquet of red currants, cedar, and rose gives way to ripe red and black fruit, crisp minerality, brisk acidity, and a long, spicy finish with a saline edge.
- How long can this wine age?
- Thanks to its old-vine fruit and extended oak aging, it is built for long-term cellaring and can develop gracefully for 15-20+ years.
- What is the best food pairing?
- Slow-braised beef, truffle dishes, and long-aged Parmigiano Reggiano stand up well to its structure and concentration.

ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ
Brunello di Montalcino
RedSangiovese
The estate's flagship Brunello, a near-equal blend of fruit from the galestro-rich Montosoli cru and the clay-dominant Canalicchio cru, aged in traditional large Slavonian oak casks. Renowned for its elegance, structural complexity, and aging potential.
ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ・ヴィーニャ・ラ・カザッチャ
Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casaccia
RedSangiovese
A rare, highly acclaimed single-vineyard Brunello from 30-year-old BBS11-clone vines in the La Casaccia plot (297-315m altitude), grown on magnesium-rich clay soils. Produced in tiny quantities since 2015, and one of the estate's most decorated wines.
ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ・ヴィーニャ・モントーゾリ
Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli
RedSangiovese
A single-vineyard Brunello from the Filari Lunghi parcel within the celebrated Montosoli cru (215-255m altitude), where galestro-marl soils rich in minerals and low in clay give the wine its signature freshness and salinity. Bottled separately since the early 2010s.
ロッソ・ディ・モンタルチーノ
Rosso di Montalcino
RedSangiovese
Canalicchio di Sopra's entry-level red, sourced from the estate's youngest Sangiovese vines. Fermented in stainless steel and aged roughly one year in oak, it offers a fresh, juicy, and approachable expression of Montalcino Sangiovese ahead of the estate's Brunello bottlings.
