Breakout Vintage - Don't Miss
2010 Salicutti Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione
"Salicutti is without question one of the leading estates in Montalcino... The wines are superb." -Antonio Galloni
The story with Salicutti is simple: well situated vineyards that they take extraordinary care of and sensitive winemaking. As Galloni's quote above makes clear, their wines reach a stunning level.
2010 is a breakout vintage for Salicutti. The 2010 delivers some of the best value that we've encountered in this great vintage.

By now, most of you know that great things happened in 2010 in Montalcino.There's a magical combination of concentration and intensity along with verve and purity.
Even when you factor in the strength of the vintage, things just clicked for Salicutti in 2010. Never before have the wines hit such clarity of expression with complexity and length. You'd be hard pressed to find many Brunellos from the vintage that offer so much at the $70 price point.
Salicutti exemplifies what I like most about 2010 Brunello. There's a beautiful energy married to a serious structure. Salicutti's Piaggione boasts an amazing array of aromatics ranging from floral notes, to herbs, incense and tobacco.
Brunello is one of Italy's most noble wines and you don't have to look any further than 2010 Salicutti for evidence of why this is. There's no doubt that this wine has a long life ahead of it. Every 2010 Brunello offer we've done has sold out quickly. Please give us your ideal order and we'll try our best.
