Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione 2019, Salicutti
A monumental Brunello that defines the perfection of the vintage. The aromatic profile is an interplay of ripe red fruits, mineral notes, and hints of balsamic. On the palate, it is powerful, vibrant, and has a moving saline persistence, supported by a noble tannic structure that promises a legendary evolution.
Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione 2019, Salicutti
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione from Salicutti represents the ideal union between the innate elegance of this organic estate and the sculptural power of the 2019 vintage. If 2018 was all about vibrancy and verticality, 2019 adds fleshiness and a darker, deeper aromatic complexity. On the nose, it is a triumph of ripe sour cherry, wild berries, and red plum, quickly giving way to noble notes of tobacco, scorched earth, and a characteristic hint of graphite and iodine from the limestone soils. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet incredibly balanced; the entry is silky, almost sweet due to the ripeness of the fruit, but it is immediately supported by an imposing acidic backbone and dense, tight tannins of the finest quality. The finish is a savory crescendo with endless persistence,
