Product price

Description
The 2004 Salicutti Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione hails from Tuscany, Italy, a renowned wine region. This vintage exhibits a complex flavor profile with rich notes of dark fruit, subtle earthiness, and hints of spice, characteristic of Sangiovese grapes, reflecting the region's unique terroir. As the wine ages, fruit becomes more subdued and elegant while earthy, savory notes become more dominant.
This Brunello is best enjoyed with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, robust pastas, or aged cheeses.

Expert Reviews
The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione possesses striking depth, transparency and weightlessness as it opens up in the glass. This deeply-scented, layered Brunello offers superb pedigree and class in its ripe red cherries, wild herbs, tobacco, spices and licorice, with a powerful blast of melted road tar that provides the final exclamation point. A firm, structured wine, the profound 2004 Piaggione desperately needs some bottle age, but readers will have a hard time finding a wine with this much sheer class and pedigree. The Piaggione spent two years in medium-size French oak barrels and was neither fined nor filtered prior to bottling. This is a wonderful effort. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
