Nose

The Brunello Piaggione Riserva of the Podere Salicutti is a touching experience. Francesco Leanza has taken his style of fine, enigmatic, highly complex Brunello to the extreme with this Reserva. The wine from the single vineyard Piaggione swings harmoniously between bright, ripe cherry fruit and the finest wood. Like in a chamber concert with the best instrumentation, each component has its proper use here - dried fruits, wild strawberries, herbs, a little juniper and a fine sweetness with a hint of marzipan.

Palate

On the palate, the 2011 Riserva shows all its depth in an elegant way. Here, too, the cherry fruit dominates at first, presenting itself lusciously and charmingly at the same time, in keeping with the vintage. It is accompanied by fine wood, which could already be perceived in the bouquet. The wine has a firm structure and is densely interwoven. The fine-grained tannin shines as if after polishing and creates an elegant texture. At the same time, a fine acidity pervades the wine, which is precisely and harmoniously integrated into the overall disposition. Wonderful.
