Podere Canalino is situated in the famous Italian region of Montalcino, Tuscany. Within the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG classification the wines must be 100% Sangiovese, yields are kept relatively low and only being able to be released for consumption after 5 years ageing with two of those years being spent in oak. This leads to wines of great complexity of flavour and depth of characteristics. The area came to prominence in the 1970's after US interest and investment, which saw the area under vine expanding exponentially to where we are today. These wines are typically high in acidity, alcohol and with high tannins, which gives them a great ability for ageing.

This Sangiovese is farmed from small plots found on the hillsides of Montalcino using minimal intervention. There are flavours of crunchy and vibrant red sour cherry, developed flavours of tobacco and a delicate note of violets. It is elegant and racy with the capacity to age in bottle for many years to come, over time developing more tertiary notes and softening the tannins.
