Salicutti Brunello di Montalcino New Vintage Releases

The resurgent Salicutti, Montalcino’s first 100% certified organic winery, has nailed it again with the release of three outstanding Brunellos. Dubbed the "Holy Grail of Sangiovese purity" by Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, over the last 7 years Salicutti has benefitted from heavy investment in the winery’s infrastructure by German restaurateur owners Felix and Sabine Eichbauer. With the state-of-the-art winery now complete, it hasn’t gone unnoticed by the critics that the quality of the Brunellos produced here has scaled new heights over the last few vintages.

    Opening slowly in the glass, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Sorgente wafts up with a seductive mix of lavender and violets, complementing dusty cherry, plum and a lifting hint of sweet smoke. This glides across the palate, nearly juicy in feel, with racy acidity propelling its depths of mineral-tinged dark red fruits. For all of its energy, the 2018 finishes with a classic feel, as dusty black tea-like tannins linger, and a punctuating flourish of sweet spice resonates on and on. The inner harmony here is something to behold. Without a doubt, Salicutti has proven that their elevation of Sorgente from Rosso to Brunello was indeed warranted. Drink 2025-2033.

  • Wine Advocate, March 2023, Score: 93

    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. Drink 2025-2045.

  • Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2023, Score: 93

    Like cracking open an ashen stone only to find a bevy of dried flowers, curry leaves, cloves and currants, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione makes itself known. This gracefully races across the palate with ripe textural fruits and sweet spices, all energized by a core of juicy acidity. Silky tannins frame the long and classically dry finale, as nuances of salted licorice and medicinal cherry echo on and on. There’s such inner beauty and vibrancy here, yet patience will be required to enjoy the 2018 Piaggione to its full effect. Drink 2026-2033.

    A stunning display that invokes cinnamon sticks, dried roses, cherry sauce and spiced blood orange makes the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Teatro a total pleasure on the nose. This engulfs the senses with textures like pure silk, while mixing vivid sweet strawberry with the tart crispness of cranberry and clove. The 2017 finishes with silky tannins balanced by a residual burst of mouthwatering acidity, as inner rose punctuates with a beautiful floral flourish. Salicutti remains one of the standout producers in the 2017 vintage. Of note, the 2017 Teatro is a late release, as opposed to being an official Riserva. Drink 2025-2033
