Already, the 2012 is positioned to be one of the most important vintages of the past couple decades. Think of a riper 2010 and you get a good idea of what 2012 holds in store. There's power, clarity and an aristocratic elegance.
It's natural to expect Salvioni's graceful and nuanced style to have found a perfect match in the 2012 vintage. Top vintages of Salvioni can floor you. The wines flaunt soaring aromatics and a dazzling spectrum of dark fruits, incense, spices, dried roses, minerals and earth. It’s deep and complex, while remaining vivid, precise and lifted. This is Brunello as we like it. There's a regal power, but ultimately it's the kaleidoscopic spectrum of aromatics and refinement that win us over.
Salvioni is a traditionalist who has meticulous standards and an exacting hands-on approach. Combine it with very well-placed sites and you get one of the most soulful expressions of Sangiovese you'll ever encounter.
Salvioni only has 4ha and is hard to come in a normal vintage. In 2012, things are much worst. The yields were tiny. Today's parcel is extremely limited. Please give us your ideal order and we'll do our best.
