An elegant red hallmarked by rose hip, strawberry, cherry and mineral flavors, with a bracing structure that sets the pace and drives the long, resonant finish. Overall, this is balanced, complex and long, with fine potential for aging. Best from 2025 through 2045. 555 cases made, 440 cases imported.

Aromas of raspberries, peach pits, hazelnuts, white truffles and some praline. It’s full-bodied with very fine, creamy tannins that caress the fruit. Beautifully integrated with fantastic drinkability and a long, silky finish. Drink or hold.

Made with certified organic fruit, the Salicutti 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione opens to a light ruby color with pretty color saturation and an elegantly lean appearance. This is exactly what you want to see in a vibrant, young Brunello. I would say that the aromas are textbook as well, in a very positive manner. The bouquet opens to fragrant rose and wild cherry. You get so much varietal character here with background tones of licorice, crushed stone and candied orange peel. There is some tannic firmness, but this will soften with time. This beautiful wine should fully embrace more cellar aging. The Piaggione site is characterized by rocky schistous galestro soils. This is a production of 6,450 bottles and 100 magnums.
