Product description for Salicutti Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Piaggione 2017 (bio)

Information

The fruit for this Brunello di Montalcino comes from the 1.2-hectare Vigna della Piaggione, which is located 420 to 450 meters above sea level and is characterized by skeletal limestone soils. The grapes were spontaneously fermented at temperatures of up to 28°C and then gently pressed. The wine was aged for three years in foudres of 10, 20, and 40 hl. It was then bottled unfiltered and aged for a further twelve months.

Colour

Bright ruby red with light garnet.

Nose

Salicutti’s Piaggione from the 2017 vintage makes a strong impression right from the start! It offers a striking blend of juicy red and black cherries, dark raspberries, and a few wild strawberries, cinnamon, earth, and charcoal, with top notes of mint, sage, and rose petals. The Brunello di Montalcino already seems quite open, but benefits immensely from air.

Palate

On the palate, the Piaggione is similarly open and inviting, juicy in its ripe but crisp fruit, where cherries and raspberries combine with a touch of star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, and grilled herbs. The Brunello appears silky and polished in its tightly knit tannins and is permeated by a zesty, lively acidity. Everything is firm and grippy, juicy, and downright classic, with a sensual touch of sweet extract and a fine creaminess. Well done for a challenging vintage!
