Tasting notes
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.

Here I find notes of ripe strawberry and plum, complemented by balsamic and cinnamon spice, with earthy minerals and dried floral tones adding lift. Soft textures are offset by brisk acids on the palate, as fleshy red fruits flood the senses, giving way to pretty inner floral tones. The 2015 finishes long, resonating on zesty acids and a pinch of fine tannin, along with hints of sweet spice. I find myself craving more depth here, yet the 2015 Teatro is already quite enjoyable.
Tasted blind. Lustrous mid ruby. Aromatic oak with notes of red fruit underneath. Zesty fruit aromas are a little supressed by the oak. I don’t think more bottle age can correct this. (WS)
