Expert Reviews
One of Salicutti’s three vineyards, Teatro boasts a full southern exposure. Nevertheless, it remains relatively fresh as it reaches an altitude of 500 metres. Gorgeously fragrant, it flaunts rose, pure cherry compote and a top-note of smoke. Sweet, sumptuous fruit is ethereally weighted, and it doesn't show over-ripeness or excessive heat at all. There's an untamed wildness that recalls Tuscany’s more remote forested reaches. Powdery tannins give ample structure yet this is already accessible. While Teatro ages for 36 months in wood like Salicutti’s other two cru labels, it sees an extra year in bottle before release.
Closed with a black wax capsule, the Salicutti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Teatro shows the intensity and the open-knit character that is a common feature of Sangiovese from a warm and dry vintage such as this. This cement-fermented wine offers pretty depth and firm consistency with ripe cherry, blackcurrant, potting soil, rosemary essence and wet clay. The tannins are pliant in this vintage, yet the wine also offers rich texture and concentration that fully coats the palate. The grapes for this wine come from a plot with heavier soils rich in schistous galestro. Exactly 2,846 bottles and 110 magnums were released.
