Salicutti
I tasted some of the most thrilling wines of my February trip at Salicutti. Proprietor Francesco Leanza has done a marvelous job with these new releases. The wines I tasted in barrel were equally captivating. In particular, Leanza has the very best 2011 Brunello I have tasted from cask so far. Leanza crafts his Brunello is made from two vineyards; Piaggia and Teatro, which are vinified and aged separately, 2012 being an exception because of the low yields of the year. The wines are aged in a combination of medium and large casks, with a progression from smaller to larger that takes place over time. Leanza has a preference for French oak, which he uses for all of his casks, except the largest (40HL), which are Slavonian oak. In the past, I have at times been critical of the Salicutti wines for their small imperfections, but I did not pick up any of those notes in any of the wines I tasted. Lastly, readers should not miss the Rosso, which can be sublime.
