Canalino Merum Rubrum Ilcinentium Rosso di Montalcino | Pre-Order
This super small production natural Rosso di Montalcino red wine is currently enroute from Italy and is available by Pre-Order. It will ship when it arrives in the warehouse.
Steps from the historic center and birthplace of Brunello, this Rosso di Montalcino is expertly crafted by a winemaker who only grows on grape: Sangiovese. But this isn’t any standard Rosso di Montalcino: it’s like a Rosso di Montalcino Riserva. The vineyards are steps from the historic center of Montalcino, famed for one of the best red wines in the world. This Rosso di Montalcino is only made during the best years from the best fruit and is aged longer, minimum 14 months in neutral oak barrels, and released only when Alberto, Canalino’s winegrower and winemaker, feels it is at its best. Like a “Baby Brunello”, Merum Rubrum Ilcinentium is in fact, winemaker Alberto’s baby.
Tastes Like: Cherries with hints of spices & eucalyptus
Farming & Winemaking Highlights: Regenerative Agriculture | Sustainable Winery | Biodynamic | Native Yeast Fermentation | Unfiltered | Organic | Natural Wine
Fun Facts: The name is inspired by “Merum” meaning pure wine, or wine fit for the gods. “Rubrum” means red, Ilcententium refers to the people of Montalcino. So this is pure red wine of Montalcino.
