'Francesco Leanza recently sold Salicutti to German investors, but has agreed to stay on in his current role for at least a few more years. It is a shame Leanza came to Salicutti late in life. His achievements in a relatively short period of time beg the question of what Leanza might have done if he had gotten off to an earlier start. These remain some of the most compelling, traditionally made wines in Montalcino and beyond. Leanza is one of the few producers who did not bottle a 2010 Riserva, but instead will do so in 2011.'

Spectacular Brunello with a nod to a Burgundian touch and influence with a transparent feel and fruit purity. Not a trace of oak on the palate. Refined and silky tannin, ample acids, a long, fruit filled finish that has the Sangiovese from Brunello feel in the aroma and palate. #purity #brunello #montalcino #salicutti

Markup is pretty brutal. But happy 21st to me! Can't go wrong with a 2010 Brunello
