Estate founded in 1962 by Primo Pacenti. Distinct from the 'Canalicchio' wines produced by Franco Pacenti.
Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage) "Inviting aromas of baked plum, violet, baking spice and sun-warmed hay come to the forefront along with a whiff of leather. The enveloping palate is delicious, delivering ripe Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and nutmeg framed in tightly woven, polished tannins that lend finesse and a smooth texture. Drink 2024–2029. Kerin O’Keefe" - 96/100, Wine Enthusiast
