Brunello di Montalcino 1997 Salicutti

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

What an amazing Rosso di Montalcino! The 1997 vintage produced wines of exceptional ripeness and richness, both of which are hallmarks of this prodigious young wine. It is deep ruby/purple-colored, with a stunning nose of blackberries, tar, and truffles. An amazing glycerin content gives the wine a voluptuous texture to go along with its super purity, and jammy, ripe flavors. Adequate acidity and tannin provide the framework.

Dark ruby color with a red edge. Superperfumed, with blackberry, licorice and light vanilla. Gorgeous and fresh. Full-bodied, with amazing fruit of currant, raspberry and hints of vanilla. Long and layered. So wonderful. The great Salicutti.
