Having retasted the 2016s from Salicutti while in Montalcino at the estate, I have to wonder if the first submission in 2020 may have suffered during transit to New York City. It’s either that, or more time maturing in bottle has done them well. In the end, the growing pains at this estate have been evident, yet they are clearly back on the upswing. A perfect example of this are the 2017s, which are two incredibly successful wines from a very difficult vintage. All of that said, I will sorely miss the Rosso di Montalcino of this estate, as the Sorgente vineyard is now bottled only as a Brunello.
