91+ Canalicchio di Sopra makes one of the best Rossos in the entire appellation. I'm reviewing the 2015 Rosso di Montalcino now, although the 2016 is about to be bottled and will soon replace it (so stay tuned). This is an intense and generous wine that shows a richer and darker appearance compared to its peers. The bouquet is sharp, almost piquant, with beautifully fresh cherry and blackberry fruit. Those plump, sweet flavors are followed by crisp acidity. I highly recommend this great value buy. - Monica Larner

The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino lifts from the glass with an exotic mix of foreign spice, crushed rose, violets, cloves and a dusting of confectioners sugar. This is soft, verging on fleshy, held together by bright acidity with masses of raspberry preserve and hard red candied fruit that set off all the pleasure meters. The 2015 really shows the power of the vintage, especially with its potency, while tapering off to grippy tannins and hints of licorice. There is a ridiculous amount of pleasure to be found here. Drink up. -- Eric Guido
