The 2007
Brunello di Montalcino is a pure, rapturous beauty. Layers of sweet red
fruit meld into rose petals, licorice, spices and mint as the 2007
seduces all of the senses. The ripe, open personality of the year is
present, but there is more than enough structure to provide balance.
Floral notes reappear on the vibrant, beautifully articulated finish.
The 2007 is more than a worthy follow up to the epic 2006. Even better
it should drink well quite a bit earlier than that wine. Sadly, there
are fewer than 1,000 cases to go around. This is a magical Brunello in
every way. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2032.
Giulio Salvioni is one of the great producers of Italy-s old guard.
Spending time in this tiny, cramped cellar in the center of Montalcino
tasting every cask is one of the great experiences for anyone who loves
traditionally made Brunello. In some years, Salvioni takes one cask and
releases it early as Rosso di Montalcino. I am convinced that Salvioni-s
small vineyard, and that of his neighbor Diego Molinari, are among the
most privileged spots for Sangiovese in Tuscany. If we were in
Burgundy, these vineyards would be considered the grandest of the grand
crus.
