1982 Brunello di Montalcino – Canalicchio di Lombardi (Tuscany, Italy)

A fully mature, classical Brunello showing perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, with cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, plus hints of orange peel, black tea, porcini and a gentle balsamic/underbrush note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-school acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle leather; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.

Producer note: Canalicchio di Sotto/Lombardi is a historic northern Montalcino address where altitude and galestro soils favour elegance and aromatic lift over sheer weight. Traditional large-cask élevage and long bottle age yield Brunello of poise and longevity—well expressed here at full tertiary maturity.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast lamb or chicken with herbs, pappardelle al ragù, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
