Tasting notes
Salicutti’s 2001 Brunello di Montalcino is impressive in the depth of its expression. Like a finely-cut diamond, it shows well-articulated nuances of ripe fruit , earthiness and tobacco with great length on the palate, firm, building tannins and a fine, long finish. Though full-bodied and intensely flavored, it is also possesses an ethereal sense of lightness. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2023. Importer: Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620

Medium red. Sexy, clean aroma of floral red berries and red cherry. Suave and sweet, with harmonious acidity giving the floral and mineral flavors terrific lift. Lush, sophisticated, wonderfully balanced wine with palate-coating intensity and terrific backbone. Finishes with a great burst of fruit and superb vinosity.
