The Canalicchio company was founded in 1962 thanks to Rosildo Pacenti, crowning the dream of creating a great Brunello. So in 1966 we have the first produced bottle of vintage Brunello di Montalcino. In 1967 the Brunello Wine Consortium was born, to one of the most prestigious wines in Italy. The Pacenti family will be among the 25 founding fathers. In 1988 Franco took over the management of his father, restoring the old historic family winery. The vineyards are facing north-east at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. The company covers an area of 10 hectares.
