Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione 2018, Salicutti
A Sangiovese of extraordinary precision and finesse. The aromatic profile alternates between small tart fruits and rare elegant mineral and floral notes. On the palate, it is tense, harmonious, and deeply saline, characterized by a perfect balance between freshness and complexity. A Brunello for those who love the verticality and authentic character of Montalcino.
Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione 2018, Salicutti
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione from Salicutti is an example of purity and territorial rigor. Located in the southeast quadrant but at an altitude that ensures freshness, the Piaggione vineyard is the beating heart of the estate. In the 2018 vintage, marked by a cooler and wetter climate, Salicutti produced a wine of extreme verticality. On the nose, it is a dance of small red fruits, pomegranate, blood orange, and a pronounced saline and mineral note, almost blood-like. On the palate, the wine is lively, with a noble acidity that drives the sip. The tannins are finely chiseled, silky, and already integrated into a structure that favors dynamism over mass. The finish is very long, vibrant, and emotionally pure in aroma.
