The Winery
Salicutti
Located in Montalcino, Podere Salcutti was the first certified organic vineyard in the region. The entire estate is comprised of only four acres of planted vines, which have been there since the mid-nineties. The founder, Francesco Leanza, leads the tiny but mighty winery with active role in the Natural Wine Movement in the Brunello appellation. Each year the winery produces about 8,000 bottles full of recognizable style: power, elegance, and vintage personality. Given the limited production, the Salicutti wines are highly sought-after so get your hands on a bottle today!
Tasting Notes
- WA95
- The initials SV (for single vineyard) have been added to the label of the 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Piaggione SV. Salicutti has only made a Riserva three times in its history in 2004, 2008 and now in 2011. This wine takes the horns on the heat of the 2011 vintage and magically transforms all that extra sunshine energy into richness, texture and soft pleasure. The wine opens to a dark ruby color and presents a full and complete array of Sangiovese aromas ranging from dark cherry to spice to grilled herb. It reveals a very fine, silky texture with integrated tannins.
