Salicutti
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
- WA87
- Salicutti manages to get a good deal of press in Italy, but the wines, though certainly representative examples of the zone, have never blown me away. It’s pretty much the same story with the 1999 Brunello di Montalcino, a medium garnet which could use some additional freshness, a nose of cherries, tobacco, and smoke whose fruit is slightly acerbic, and a forceful palate which would benefit from more roundness and softer tannins. Drink: 2005-2014.
