years ago I purchased a number of 2010 Brunellos and Rosso di’s, with the advice to enjoy the latter while waiting for the former to age into their plateau of drinkability. Tonight, I continue to follow their advice. What this lovely 2010 Canalicchio di Sopra Rosso unveils is NOT rich, ripe fruit nor a muscular structure that whacks the palate. At eight years of age its soft, claret-like aroma suggests dried, red stone fruits. Beautifully balanced with gentle acidity and soft, dusty-like tannins, this very savory 2010 Rosso is a joy to sip and ponder and should be a great partner with tonight’s baked, mushroom stuffed chicken thighs. Unfortunately, this is the last bottle.
