2015 | Salicutti | Brunello di Montalcino Teatro

The wine is clear and shiny in the glass in a radiant, slightly translucent ruby ​​red with a garnet rim. With the spiciness with which this wine appears aromatically, the clear juiciness of the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino "Teatro" from Salicutti surprises on the palate.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The Salicutti 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Teatro is a dark and savory expression of Sangiovese that reveals plummy dark fruit, dried blackberry and a heavier center of gravity compared to the other two Brunellos released by this estate in 2015. The wine shows completely integrated fruit tones that fold seamlessly into slight spice, tobacco and tar. Like the other two wines from Salicutti, Teatro offers an immediate and accessible personality that gives you greater choice when deciding when to drink it. You can enjoy it in the near-term or wait to cellar it longer.

• Wine Enthusiast: French oak, coconut and fragrant purple-flower aromas lead the nose along with whiffs evoking sunbaked earth. The aromas follow over to the austere palate along with dried cherry and exotic spice framed by close-grained tannins that leave a clenching finish. Drink 2023–2030.

Producer Information

Owner Francesco Leanza is a firm believer in total-quality processes and natural farming. This is reflected in his respect for the biological cycles of his plants, which he is convinced leads to vines that produce not only better-tasting fruit and wines, but also benefit the environment and the consumer.
The vineyards and olive groves of Salicutti are set in a large natural amphitheater with a spectacular view of the cultivated fields of Tuscany’s Orcia Valley and the nearby woods of Mount Amiata. In the middle of this charming natural setting lies the Salicutti estate, which prides itself on the production of high-quality wines through the use of traditional, environmentally respectful agricultural methods. Winemaking Process
Leanza’s environmentally sound approach to viticulture shuns chemical intervention in favor of a return to the basics: identifying the optimal terroir, sun exposure and vineyard altitude to produce exceptional wines. Leanza fertilizes his vines and treats vineyard pests using only noninvasive measures, such as under-plowing and natural fertilizers.
