Canalicchio di Sopra

About Canalicchio di Sopra

Canalicchio di Sopra have been an active part of the development of the quality of Montalcino since 1962, leaders of a beautiful and generous land which we have helped make famous. The first bottle of Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino was produced in 1966. In 1967, Canalicchio di Sopra was one of the twelve founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino.

Primo Pacenti, who founded the winery in 1962, to the willful quest for quality and the meticulous work in the vineyard of son-in-law Pier Luigi Ripaccioli, who started working side by side with Primo in 1987, a common thread weaves through the qualitative development of our winery. Today, Canalicchio di Sopra is the result of three generations of enthusiastic winemakers forever connected to Montalcino and its land. Since 2001, grandchildren Francesco, Marco, and Simonetta have continued with respectful work uniting tradition with innovation, love and respect for the territory that they rely on to produce classic wines.
