Tasting Notes

"Packed with succulent cherry, raspberry and floral flavors, this red is expressive and complex. Earth, iron, black pepper, eucalyptus and wild herbs chime in as this gathers intensity midpalate and through the kaleidoscopic finish. Offers immediate gratification and the structure to age." - Wine Spectator, 98 points on the 2020 vintage

Cultivation

Manual, extremely detail-oriented harvest from single vineyard Teatro to select the highest quality fruit, ensuring optimal results in the cellar.

Vinification

Fermented in cement at controlled temperatures with native yeasts, followed by an extended 40-day maceration for added depth and structure. Gently pressed using a hydraulic press and completed with malolactic fermentation for softness and balance.

Aging

42 months in Mittelberger 21 hl, followed by 20 months in bottle.

Podere Salicutti, Montalcino’s first certified organic estate, was founded by Francesco Leanza and carefully transitioned to legendary Munich restauranteurs Felix and Sabine Eichbauer, who have guided its evolution toward biodynamic practices while honoring the land’s natural rhythms. The estate’s 11 hectares of Sangiovese, spread across three adjoining vineyards—Teatro, Sorgente, and Piaggione—sit at 420–500 meters with ideal sun exposure, airflow, and marne-rich soils that enhance ripening and concentration. Salicutti’s Brunello di Montalcino reflects the individuality of each plot, combining purity, structure, and a deep expression of terroir.
